Pros

HR works very hard to organise company events/parties, management is not shy about spending on benefits. Good people in development who want to improve things.

Cons

Management making it up as they go, don't really know what they are doing or where they are going, lack the maturity needed to be flexible and work well with others. The company at this point is not capable of releasing new products that could compete on the app store, several attempts have proven this. Serious structural changes are required but management too stubborn to make them (see other's comments about what the issues are, no point repeating again). Dishonest recruiting practices, was told one thing during interview, ended up with something else, very unprofessional. No idea why they would think pulling a stunt like that would lead to a positive long term working relationship. Sadly I would not recommend this company to either juniors or seniors. Juniors would not learn skills and best practices, and would be at a disadvantage if they ever joined a different company. Seniors would be shocked and frustrated out of their minds by the horrible decisions being made.

Pros

Very decent salaries and Barcelona is a nice city, but:

Cons

Owners blatantly copy other games. Not just the general ideas, everything. I wonder why they never run into legal problems. Zero creativity, just a business. Some good people in the company, but they suffer under the bullyish owners. Owners behave like stereotypical Hollywood jocks and have no idea how a game works. So much micromanagement, everything has to run though them. Their behaviour is backed by tons of investor money. Why and where from, no one knows. Don't even try to fix stuff or criticize them. At best you'll get literally yelled at...
