Pros

Spend a lot of time trying to look like they are fun and have perks. Good people as your peers.

Cons

Senior engineers bailed from my team left and right. The technical lead didn't know the codebase which would be fine, but there was never an lead engineer. The position has been open for over 2 years as of writing this. I do not understand how you can be making a game without a lead gameplay engineer for over 2 years. What more could I possibly say?

Pros

The money they pay can be spent on food and shelter.

Cons

Couldn't keep equipment running; company is extremely cheap and inflexible when it comes to necessary hardware and software. Was hired to be a part of a team that never came to be - I did not know it, but apparently no one wants to work for this company. Was hired to work on a project that changed direction massively, weeks after my first day (it went from an original idea, to a boring 'we can make that too' project which was aping existing successful titles). Toxic alt-right people in leadership positions. Company has no interest in developing employees; even if they moved you across the country to work for them, they are willing to throw thousands of dollars and months of time invested away if they think you are not putting out %150 every day. Non U.S.-born Koreans make up a significant part of the employees. Most do not speak English, and they are complete ciphers. No effort to integrate teams means no sense of being a part of a team.

Pros

- one of the strongest user acquisition teams in the mobile gaming space, both in depth of knowledge/experience, media buying strategy, and size - UA team is very close-knit with great leadership - every UA member gets to work on every game that comes through, no siloing - lots of high quality games to work on - portfolio is diverse with new projects constantly being added to the pipeline (great place to be if you're a gamer) - great work-life balance

Cons

- expect to be kept busy with constant game launches and new projects - UA team is larger than most, so workload can be diffused at time - as with the nature of the game industry, expect project timelines to shift and games to be added/dropped on short notice
