Pros

Products we have been working on for the past year really look and play amazing Finally have the right leadership in place, took a while to get the right right mix of leaders. We have hired some really smart and talented people in the past 6 months...good to see us able to attract people with really great experience. 2014 is much more inclusive, seems like they really want or input on how the company is run, but more importantly how the games are made.

Cons

People leaving...we still loose 1-2 people every month..its sad to see someone leave, but at the same time we have hired some really amazing people to replace them. Its mobile, lots of iteration..I was not ready for the amount of direction change that happens. Im not sure its a Con, but you really need to be ready to have throwaway work.

Pros

I worked at Z2 for nearly 2 years, and I feel like I should add my two cents here. First of all, this is a highly competitive industry, and there is an expectation of competency and passion at this company. If you are good at your job, not a slacker, and you have a passion for the business of making mobile games; this is a great company to work for. I had a generally good experience in my time at the company. I noticed some of the reviews on this site are singling out specific execs and attacking them personally. However, my experience with management, such as Lou Fasulo (CEO), was not at all like what I read from those reviews. I found him to be determined to make Z2 a great company. Every company has its growing pains, and there will always be those who feel personally targeted by big business decisions, such as downsizing or canceling a title-in-development -- but again, I feel like I was always treated fairly and honestly by upper management in my time there. Take it for what it's worth.

Cons

Relatively demanding game-development environment is not for everyone; and can sometimes make work/life balance difficult to maintain. Occasional growing pains.
