Vantaggi
The culture here is supportive, inclusive, and goal-oriented. I'm surrounded by incredibly creative and hard working people, and am constantly inspired by the quality of product that this studio puts out. It's truly a joy to come to the office each day and feel pushed to give my best not through top-down commandments, but simply through the work everyone else is doing. There's a lot of expertise here, and a lot of sharing of information. It really feels like everyone genuinely wants to see this game succeed. I haven't run into some of the more ugly parts of studio life, like politics and cliques, which is surprising given the diversity and experience that exists here. It's team-oriented, in that, "Man, I feel like I'm a part of something that matters," sort of way. It's a great place to work, is what I'm saying. Super positive, super supportive, with fantastic people that I'm always learning from.
Svantaggi
This is a con for a certain set of people, and a pro for a certain set of others, but keep in mind that this is very much a startup. There's a lot of different hats to wear, and no backup to pick up any slack you leave. If you have any secondary skills, you should probably be ready to have those skills tapped.
