Pros

Blockdot was the leader in Advergaming during the past decade and was seen as a gaming expert for casual gaming. Work environment is extremely relaxed with shorts & flip flops. Good people with a high value for family friendly work hours.

Cons

Blockdot leadership is struggling to define a new direction as the focus has shifted away from advergaming. Parent company, Media General, fails to understand how to best support Blockdot in its transition phase. Media General is a newspaper company that is slowly dying and hasn't figured out how to best leverage the digital properties it owns.
