      Pros

      Freedom to innovate, learn, and explore. Some of the teams are very lucky to have great managers and a cohesive team, where everyone looks after each other. Very cool set of technologies; good pool to choose from or to expand in.

      Cons

      Low compensation Possibility of frequent management replacement Company goals change drastically from year to year- makes you question new direction Relatively frequent job cuts Low morale

      Pros

      The studio has some great talent left. Lots have been laid off recently. I hope GameHouse survives.

      Cons

      Real mgmt is really a behemoth and has no idea what's up with the industry. They are focused on selling off their studio with no regard to the fact that they used to make a great product. Now it's all profit and bottom line.

      Pros

      There are some very talented, hardworking people at Real who believe that what they are doing will save the company. Holding onto these people is Real's only hope at success.

      Cons

      Overall Real is currently a sad place to work. There are quarterly layoffs, many of the current staff is actively looking for jobs and the demands on personal lives require a lot of sacrifice. Be warned...it is far from the happiest place on earth.
