Pros

There was a good work-life balance, at least in the LA office, which has closed since the Scopely PGO takeover.

Cons

Management refused to see the writing on the wall for the success of the company's slate of games, as well as long-term feasibility for its platform.

Advice to Management

Be more receptive to honest feedback from employees who are front and center with player feedback.
