Pros

Champaign is nice and affordable. There are flexible hours and some talented people on staff.

Cons

Poorly managed, this company is hindered by indecisive owners with unrealistic expectations and little understanding of the games industry. There isn't much of a place in the business for AA developers anymore, and if there isn't some serious reinvestment in the company, they are doomed to be swallowed up by their much larger competitors in the third-person sandbox space (i.e. Rockstar, Ubisoft, etc.)

Pros

Amazing people, work environment, culture, and teams! Loved everyone I met and wish I could go back. Was offered a full time position prior to their closure.

Cons

Took a little while (towards the end of my internship) to know that I was being offered a full time position prior to their closure.
