Pros

Insurance, possibility to start in gaming industry easily, easy hours

Cons

No possibility to evolve Salaries are weak for the industry, no benefits beside insurance Bad atmosphere which keeps deteriorating because of management Games outdated The company was never perfect under Gala Network, but it went from bad to worse with the new management. Motivated and competent staff are dismissed or led on to promises, which led to many departure of good elements. Current management in Dublin is at the source of the bad atmosphere in the company (harassment, passive-aggressiveness, to name a few), with no possibility to have actions done to improve the situation. I would not recommend this company, even for starting in the industry, there is too much negativity, no possibility for a raise/job change.

Pros

I joined the new office in El Segundo, CA which is considered a separate branch from the Dublin and the now-defunct Los Angeles office. - Great co-workers - Given a lot of autonomy on tasks - Startup culture (can be a con for some people) - Best health benefits I've ever had - Casual dress-code

Cons

- It is a mobile gaming company, knowledge about mobile gaming is essential. - Fixed working schedule - Can be long hours depending on position - Sometimes have to wear many hats (can be a pro for some people)

Pros

The big projects that they were able to obtain 5 years ago

Cons

complete and utter incompetence at the managerial level. Decisions made without data. No interest in expanding the abilities of the company or themselves. Many times inept management leads to overwhelming crunch work for the entire company. Inability to communicate has led to wasteful decisions as well as the closure of their US subsidiary due to inability to work with the US staff there. This inability to communicate as well as manage has also led to the loss of a high profile AAA project. Not enough support or proper perspective in regards to what are essential projects to the company. Bleeding qualified and formerly motivated employees left and right. Not destined to remain in business or independent.
