Pluspunten
-Willing to give just about anyone a chance to be in the games industry, even if not in the U.S.
Minpunten
-No benefits
-Abysmal pay, even for the games industry
-Most of the employees aren't willing to help, and the ones who do may be in completely different timezone, making collaboration much harder
-I agree with every review of thr CEO; he's terrible, a micro-manager, and a narcissist. You know it's bad when the CEO is also somehow the lead programmer.
-By the time I left, the company became obsessed with numbers and stats rather than the actual wellbeing of their employees.
-Entire reason for becoming an online company is because it's cheaper to hire talent outside U.S.
-Much of the creative atmosphere surrounding the company is very much dried up, with much of the creative ideas being channelled through the wrong people (including a QA tester and a community manager), who are tough to work with due to stubborn tendencies. They tend to hold a certain power over other developers, wrongly so.
-CTO and CEO (who is also the lead programmer) are incredibly anal for most of the mundane things any other developer would not think much of.
-CEO keeps all the interesting features for himself to implement and the rest of the team to fix stuff he breaks when doing so
-Requirements for PRs are unclear and are a guessing game. Often backed up based on the mood of thr CEO.
-Communication as a whole is all over the place.
