Pros

Amazing and talented staff for the most part. Good facilities such as the canteen and gym. Good portfolio and history with a lot of potential for great games. The company was once great, suffered some ups and down and is currently striving to revive it's old flame...

Cons

Some prehistoric senior staff that are set in their ways or worse appear to have no interest in their duties or the ongoing projects. Higher management is either blind or unaware of the lack of leadership and initiative under them. Project planning and production is mediocre at best except when it comes to mandating overtime and organising takeaway orders. 20 year old tech with so much technical debt Greece would be laughing. Some subtle bullying, special treatment and pressure to work overtime with complete disregard for the root causes. No transparency or sharing between studios : sometimes even seems like a form of rivalry/pride to make the better game/tech.
