Pros
- Good attitude towards personal needs. No hassle in getting time off when you need it. - Management is genuinely interested in games. - Lots of freedom within strict boundaries (working with external IP 100% of the time) - Yearly bonus. It's based on a percentage of profits though, so some years it has been 0 kr. - "Hack weeks" a couple of times per year, week long personal development time However these are frequently cancelled due to "regular work" needing to be done.
Cons
- Low salaries and no effort in making them more competitive. Very little chance to improve them. - Poor production and planning often leading to chaotic and stressful working conditions. - Officially no crunch, which is very good. But some people still do it on their own initiative without interjections. - Much of management are internal recruits, leading to high craft knowledge but lacking management skills. - No clear vision of seniority levels. Many different interpretations of this within management group, leading to difficulties to grow in the company.
