Pros

-Full Remote (good work balance) -High-end work PC -Flexible work hours across all US time zones

Cons

-Constant hiring of temp contract employees even those with decades of experience in their respected fields and FGC genre. -Heavily relying on "pro" FGC members for game meta and feedback -Very poor communication and milestone tasking -Lots of micro-management -ZERO benefits for temp/contactor employees. Not even earned PTO. -They'll let you know when your last day is during your final week. You basically figured it out on your own that they are not extending you nor promoting you to FT status w/ benefits. -Extremely LOW PAY even for temps/contractors with decades of experience. The pay will be based on a 12-month yearly salary/contract, but you're only hired for 6-9 months, so you won't receive the full sum of the offered contract salary. So, even decade+ experienced devs on contract status are getting paid like associates/juniors. -So many seasoned/experienced senior-level devs gone b/c of temp/contract status/hiring.
