Serious management changes required

Pros

Yearly bonus. Option to live north of San Francisco and close to work (but not generally recommended for young single professionals).

Cons

As others have stated, there is a very cliquish element. There is absolutely no onboarding, and there is mass dysfunction between different departments. There is quite a bit of favoritism at play - too many employees exist that don't contribute very much, while some very talented individuals are demoralized because of lack of job growth, and very little recognition from top leadership. Senior leadership functions like they are too busy to get back to employees. Some completely ignore simple email requests. Because of the location, this place has a very hard time attracting and keeping talent - unless the employees are tied to Marin, it's pretty much impossible to keep good talent given the deficiencies that exist in this company.

Horrible location even worse management

Pros

Small group of fun hardworking people here. If you are lazy but have a good social game this is the company for you!

Cons

Salaries way too low for location in Marin. Managers, Directors, and VPs only concerned with themselves. Zero mentoring at the company. No interest in developing hard working employees. Once you start working here you will be pidgeon holed to that task and job title. After begging for other responsibilities in order to grow, a year later you still will not get a promotion. Glad to be moving on, there are way better company's to work for, ones that appreciate their employees.

Pros

Exciting projects, lots of game related gifts, events, and perks, autonomy and self-management encouraged.

Cons

Fear-based and paranoid culture inhibits the ability to work with the proper information and teams. Goals and prioritization are non-existent or very loose, leading to widespread burnout. Career paths are not documented, professional development or advancement is not promoted. Conflict avoiding, risk-averse culture has cemented many managers into decades long comfort roles, where backlogs extend back years because accountability is viewed as conflict.
