Pros

Talented and passionate game developers.

Cons

After three interviews that spanned 5 weeks with little communication in between, I was given a competitive verbal offer. After a slight negotiation and verbal agreement, I was ghosted while waiting for the written offer. I’ve followed up several times afterwards with no luck or response. Who does that??
