Pluspunten

-Fun Culture -Technical Challenges (although the CEO has firmly established ideas of who is best at what, so roles will be chosen, not grown into) -Good Company Name Recognition -Makes Videogames

Minpunten

-Long Daily Hours -Cyclic "crunch periods" (every game release) -Cyclic Layoffs (2010, 2015) -Low Base Compensation -Poor Healthcare Package -High Turnover (both terminations and resignations) -CEO/Owner likes to jump into projects and work on them temporarily. This would be fine, but the CEO/Owner is temperamental, pushy, volatile, and is fully beyond reproach due to his total ownership of the company.

Pluspunten

The games side Stardock is staffed by some truly underpraised talent and experience. The team is welcoming and passionate about their work. The company focuses on developing people, wanting to foster talent and develop it which can be a rarity in the games industry. It has a nice location near multiple larger cities, smaller suburban towns, and not far from the middle of nowhere if you prefer nature. The company pushes for healthy work-life balances, avoiding crunch and ensuring employees utilize their time off along with multiple week-long holiday breaks and the occasional company outing that keeps any part of the year from becoming monotonous.

Minpunten

Things can move quickly at Stardock. There's a strong preference to iterate and get something good then get it great the first time. There are moments where a bit more planning could be helpful but if you can handle the occasionally hectic day with a sudden deadline it's nothing unmanageable.
