Pros

Working with smart people who are as enthusiastic about their work as I am about mine is highly important. NHN has a lot of that going on at the moment. They also invest in the company both in terms of the infrastructure required to do excellent work and committing to offering competitive salaries. Last, there's really no room for someone to hover over you to make sure you're doing the work you were hired to do, so there's an appreciable amount of trust and autonomy. That's a huge "Pro" in my book.

Cons

As with any startup environment, there's a strong dynamic component to working here; however, the reasons why things change are oftentimes simply not articulated company-wide.

Your review is much appreciated. We’re glad you find your coworkers to be passionate people. We’re definitely aware of how important that aspect is, and we pride ourselves on looking for that attribute in potential new hires. Communication (specifically the lack thereof) is the top area of improvement for our management team. We know how important it is, and are continuously striving to find the right amount of transparency for our ever-evolving work environment. We can and will do better in that area. While we realize we have some growth opportunity regarding communication, we sincerely hope that you and all of our employees at Monarc Gaming Labs still feel confident enough to ask any question of management at any time. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Pros

The people who work here really are what makes this place amazing. Not only are the people in production (engineers, artist, QA, etc) great people, but management is equally great and sometimes moreso! When it comes to companies, you don't often hear management is doing a good job. But here, management may not be PERFECT, ofcourse, but they are balanced in their experiences, people skills, and getting things done while showing results! Company is also growing fast, but it is not an out of control growth. They really care about who they hire. So there is great people, free food 4 out of 5 days of the work week, extra food sometimes if people are crunching. Great benefits. And people have opportunities to move around or get promoted! Company is dog friendly too!

Cons

Santa Monica is expensive to live in!! But, can't really think of much else. I am not a big Apple computer user, and that is what we use here, but that is really not an issue!
