Pros
They make games but lets not kid ourselves.. cryptic isn't known for good games.. They have a few nice people (that aren't management).
Cons
Management are complete BS artists and liars. Jack gives great speeches and its really easy to fall for his rhetoric but believe me, its all smoke and mirrors. Their management team is a club of old buddies that really don't give a crap about anybody but themselves. A bunch of failed game designers that moved into management positions so they could do even less work while explaining to everybody else why their way is the right way. - Upper management is completely clueless but unbelievably arrogant. - They only make microtrans, free-to-play games. They simply want to trick their players into giving them money - Almost nobody at the company has any idea how their own engine works (none of the original devs have been at the company in years) - Did I mention how arrogant all of their management is? Just wow.. -They aren't afraid to lay people off creatively so there is little/no severance package I've literally heard their upper management team discussing putting out a piece of crap game just so they can recup costs and make a quick buck. its disgusting. If you're looking for a place to hide out for a while or boost your resume and you don't care what you work on its not a horrible place to be. If you're a passionate game dev, don't bother with this place.
