Business Outlook

Pros

Game company, video game room, all sorts of perks working for them

Cons

Management does not know how to lead. There are all manner of 'go team' meanings but when it gets right down to running a project, they are rushed, unfocused, and uninvolved. The result is bad code. Every instance of code that I was exposed to needed a complete rewrite. The rushed disorganized manner in which they work, pretty much guarantee that bad code gets rewritten with more bad code.
