Promising young start-up

Pros

Great benefits and equity for employees. Daily catered lunches and an assortment of snacks in the kitchen. Arcade room with ping pong table. Weekly jam sessions in the back of the arcade with the Shiver Band. Extremely talented employees - artists, engineers, and designers can all hang with the best in the industry. Veteran managerial staff with proven track records. Most importantly, this company shows great promise for growth and longevity. The connections of the executive team have set the company up for future success. The products being made inside the company are truly innovative in every sense of the word. With the strong backing of a big name publisher, the only thing required for this company to sky rocket is execution by the team. It's going to be very exciting to see where this company will be not just in the next few years, but in the next few months.

Cons

The company is still young so there are/will be growing pains as the company matures. Management can occasionally be tough, but they are typically reasonable and justified with their requests. The hours can be long at times when milestone dates are near, but employees that exhibit commitment and ownership have been and will continue to be rewarded.

A rare chance to work closely with game industry elite

Pros

I loved working at here. Few people get a chance to work as closely with someone like John as you do at Shiver. He has a deep history in the games industry, and is very hands on in his approach to game development. Jason is an A+ elite CTO and the tech was industry leading. They're willing to take chances on young, talented individuals, and I can't imagine a better place to cut your teeth.

Cons

Working here is not easy - the quality bar is high. If you're willing to put in the work and follow direction and queues, it's a great place to learn - but that's not for everyone.
