Pros

* Laid-back atmosphere (most of the time) * Lots of really cool people * No major budget blockers (equipment, software etc.)

Cons

* Ridiculous salaries. In many cases half of what you can realistically get in other companies on a similar position. * No real leaders, mentors, managers (apart from one person really). Nobody to look up to and learn from. * Not much clue about project planning and management. This leads to impossible deadlines, no clear product ownership, diffused responsibility, reduced product quality and unnecessary overtime. * Very outdated and irrelevant approach to online business. No proper data-mining, analysis, testing, metrics etc. If you'd have to do anything related to UX, BI, BA, performance marketing, marketing automation, behavioral retargeting etc. expect to enter a barren land. * Frightening lack of knowledge about situation and global trends in gaming and online businesses. * No vision. While the project is absolutely amazing and the potential is way beyond huge there is no strategy for the brand, product, innovation etc. and what's worse nobody realizes it is a problem for the business in the long term. * Your opinion doesn't really matter in the long run. If your idea or expertise reaches high enough level there's a huge chance it's gonna get shot down. * Some very toxic people at some very crucial positions. * For many people there is a path career ceiling arbitrary set up by their supervisors. If you're in a wrong spot your knowledge, experience and ability don't matter. * You are expected to crunch.

Pros

1. A lot of good, creative, intelligent people who love games and try to do their work best despite difficulties coming from management and overall organization chaos 2. Laid back atmosphere

Cons

1. Management knows the best and they don't listen - when I started they said they want to hear my opinions, but then they didn't want to hear even constructive criticism. 2. Very toxic people on the highest levels who have emotional problems and can't properly communicate. 3. Unrealistic KPIs that just "needs to be done" and when they are not management tend to be passive aggressive. 4. No investment in people - don't want to invest in training or courses 5. Lack of business and marketing e-commerce know how - people who manage company are sales and IT people and know very little about modern e-commerce practices. 6. Troubles in communication between teams - because everybody is focused on pleasing top management 7. No place for test and learn and failures. No proper atmosphere to come up with really different ideas (of course management can do it, but no other people)
