      Some lack of direction

      Pros

      It's not the east side! The chance to work on games is still pretty compelling. And while there aren't the upsides of a startup, you at least have corporate security.

      Cons

      The games group was going to be spun off almost two years ago and still has not. Independence isn't the same as a liquidity event, this should have happened. Meanwhile, it has chased Big Fish to the bottom in terms of pricing and quality.

      Pros

      Great Seattle waterfront location. Cheap, edible food in the cafeteria. great coworkers. Lots of brilliant people.

      Cons

      Siloed. Each team has their own processes. very little collaboration between groups. Weak product ownership. Little encouragement/incentive to innovate. New initiatives start at the top and trickle down.

      Pros

      RealNetworks is an established company, well known in the industry. It is always a bonus to say that you worked there. There are many company benefits.

      Cons

      Turnover is heavy and frequent. Decisions are many times political, without consideration to job performance or commitment to achieving company goals.
