Pros

-The pay isn't that bad -There were some fun office perks like free coffee and drinks (but that's pretty much expected these days) -The developers really care about the projects they're working on

Cons

The company is managed horribly. Take a look at the recent bad press and realize that everything being said is true. For a long period, Crytek stopped paying its employees and just kept saying "Thank you for your loyalty as we move through this difficult time." Any company that can't pay its employees on time is a company you don't want to work for. There's also been a mass exodus of talent that's going to really hurt Crytek's ability to put out quality products.

Pros

They are a "fly by the seat of your pants" kind of studio. This is a bit of a double edged sword but it allows you to do some fun and creative stuff.

Cons

- Doesn't always pay employees (Blames employees for not managing money properly) - All significant talent has left and they are just riding on their previous notoriety - A sinking ship
