Pros

- Work life balance, people come in at 10 and leave at 4. - You aren't expected to do much and can get away with 2+ hour long lunches and nobody will notice

Cons

- Management doesn't hold anyone accountable - Management doesn't address any of the major issues with the company - Pay is mediocre for the industry - Owner is checked out and doesn't seem invested in how the company performs - Constant re-orgs, I've had a number of managers in a short amount of time

Velir Studios Response

I have read your comments multiple times and each time I wish for the opportunity to have a conversation with you about what you are experiencing. If you are willing, People Operations or any one in management would be open to a conversation with you.
