Pros

Extremely passionate developers of sports games, with clear ideas on how to build the best possible tech for these.

Excellent facilities, including a gym, soccer pitch, and beach volleyball court, along with Friday afternoon BBQs on the roof at EAC, are great for team building and general relaxation.

Cons

Management had little clue as to how technology-dependent games are, and how investing in technology pays for itself on cyclical games like sports titles.

Advice to Management

Start walking the walk of YOUR cultural values.
