Waste of talent and money

Pros

- Great co-workers, professionally and personally. - Good salary if you are able to sell castles in the air (highly valued in this company). If not, then it becomes a con.

Cons

- Management (CEO and COO, basically) kills the company. They think they know everything and they understimate workers, ignore users and manage to kill projects before even starting them. - Career opportunities tend to zero. You will be doing always the same stuff. In the Bucharest office they misuse the term Project Manager, but don't believe you will be in charge of any projects. - There are no perks or benefits. Yes, there's a Xbox, an arcade machine and some other stuff. But it is only user to show off and create hype in videos or pics. - They sell this lean-startup image where everything is unicorns, candy and butterflies, but it's a lie. There's no horizontal structure, in your day to day work you will use a twisted version of scrum and management won't value your opinions.

Pros

- Very nice team, good professionals and nice people - They used to have excellent middle managers - Salaries are pretty good

Cons

- Very low quality top management, two guys that think they know everything (game design, marketing, agile methodology etc.) but their results are close to disaster. Even so, they micromanage almost every single aspect of the company. - Although they claim it's a startup you can meet more rules and regulations than in an old corporation - They fire or force to leave any other manager or good employee to explain their incompetence in front off other or the board - The freedom of thinking is quite limited, you are forced to satisfy not the final customer but the top management - New products pr new features are decided based on what the top management likes not what the market needs
