Pros

* All the usual goodies for tech startups: catered dinners, outings, fun people who are passionate about their work, etc. * Get to work with exciting 3rd-party IPs * Great benefits * The people are amazing * The culture is welcoming to all kinds of people * Beautiful views

Kontras

* Development processes are overly focused on the short term. * Little effort is made to prevent recurring issues with the games, development workflows, or project management. * Innovative products nearly always evolve into slight variations of their older games, or are cancelled entirely. * Peer bonus system for "above and beyond" seems set up to reward unpaid overtime more than anything. "Above and beyond" varies wildly by department. * High turnover means frequent desk shuffles and exacerbates project management issues. * Quality of the live product is hampered by short release cycles and last-minute changes. * Few opportunities for advancement. * Open office plan is an obstacle when you need to focus, and working from home is actively discouraged.

Pros

There’s catered lunch a few days a week and catered dinner. Work life balance is mostly good other than understandably right before a big game release. Best coworkers you will ever work with!

Kontras

401k marching is non existent. No bonuses or equity or any other structure exists to make me feel like I have a stake in company success.

Pros

- I believe that TinyCo doesn't hire just experienced people, or "good" people, or "bad" people, I think they try to hire the right people to make F2P mobile games, and sometimes experience doesn't mean results, I like that the culture is results driven. - I've learned a ton, maybe I'd even say a crap load. - I feel like I matter here, and that people want me to actually give me opinions and thoughts directly and its not encumbered by red tape or dumb managers - The people are amazing here. Everyone is positive, bright, helpful and there are almost no politics. People have fun and like to spend time with one another and no one is left out. - Great pipeline of game projects that we are very excited about.

Kontras

- I wish there was more of a management structure and that the company was organized in general, it's a bit of a mess and sometimes the lack of structure creates craziness. I guess its better that there isn't too much management like other companies, but more would help. - Projects are a bit unstructured as well, but I think they are getting much better. I think if we keep having hits and investing in teams and management the company could get there. - Management is a bit slow to act... Decisions feel like they take a lifetime to be made and trickle down even for simple things. - The office is kind of craptastic, but its not bad, just not... pretty.
