Pros

Great concept and application Good staff and smart people Pleasant work environment

Cons

Like most online game companies the life work balance is wonky. Some changes as their core workers grow up and more have families. They really need to look at their QA prices session and actually create a team to QA things beyond having the programmers check their own code

Lots of smart people, great vision, big market

Business Outlook

Pros

-Lots of room for new ideas. The tech is fairly new and broad, and there is minimal bureaucracy and approval "processes". -Talent is rewarded. -Smart coworkers -Transparency about company strategies all the way from exec level. Company meetings every week where all details of the business and financials are discussed.

Cons

-This company isn't great for people who are just out of school. The expectation is that you take educating and training yourself into your own hands, which could be a bit of a challenge to some. If you do not possess the knowledge and the talent to be a good problem solver, don't expect management to train you on solving things.
