Pros

Lovely office that is dog friendly

Cons

- Inept exec team that has made multiple catastrophic decisions that have results in recent layoffs - Recently moved a studio to their Austin office and handled it in the most chaotic, distasteful way imaginable - Demand pixar quality art for a mobile game which is only an epic waste of resources and time - The CEO came in last year demanding that the flagship product launch a very specific feature nearly a year ago. It launched and cost millions of dollars. That epic mistake has never been acknowledged and is rarely discussed. - Insane amount of politics that color every decision made - Complete lack of technical acumen and proficiency - Moral and culture is a nightmare
