Business Outlook

Pros

Learn a lot from working on multi disciplinary teams. Great organization for a company, all the free coffee and food you need.

Cons

You might get laid off. They didn't male the best decisions on what games to invest in and it has taken its toll on the studio. They also think it’s more important to build new offices with private restaurants in them then to keep their existing teams intact.
