Pros

- There are a handful of genuinely good people at TinyCo who are passionate about making a good, high quality games. Unfortunately, none of them are in a position where they can bring about significant change. - Good benefits. Health/Vision/Dental all taken care of. Free dinners and snacks.

Cons

- Almost all departments within the company are stretched extremely thin and hiring is extremely slow or frozen. Many games simply lack the resources needed to be high quality. - Depending on what department you join - your pay can either be very competitive or extremely poor. Regardless, it is very difficult to get promotions or raises. - Several members of upper management are poor communicators, who are highly inexperienced, unorganized, and extremely lacking in knowledge of their own field of expertise. Their poor leadership abilities cripple the company and prevent it from growing into the truly dominating force it could become.

Pros

There’s catered lunch a few days a week and catered dinner. Work life balance is mostly good other than understandably right before a big game release. Best coworkers you will ever work with!

Cons

401k marching is non existent. No bonuses or equity or any other structure exists to make me feel like I have a stake in company success.

Pros

- I believe that TinyCo doesn't hire just experienced people, or "good" people, or "bad" people, I think they try to hire the right people to make F2P mobile games, and sometimes experience doesn't mean results, I like that the culture is results driven. - I've learned a ton, maybe I'd even say a crap load. - I feel like I matter here, and that people want me to actually give me opinions and thoughts directly and its not encumbered by red tape or dumb managers - The people are amazing here. Everyone is positive, bright, helpful and there are almost no politics. People have fun and like to spend time with one another and no one is left out. - Great pipeline of game projects that we are very excited about.

Cons

- I wish there was more of a management structure and that the company was organized in general, it's a bit of a mess and sometimes the lack of structure creates craziness. I guess its better that there isn't too much management like other companies, but more would help. - Projects are a bit unstructured as well, but I think they are getting much better. I think if we keep having hits and investing in teams and management the company could get there. - Management is a bit slow to act... Decisions feel like they take a lifetime to be made and trickle down even for simple things. - The office is kind of craptastic, but its not bad, just not... pretty.
