Pros

Learn how to do a lot with a little. Working at Torus gives you a lot of freedom to add and to take ownership over different elements of the game you are working on.

Cons

Not enough time, people or planning. Many features are only implemented outside of work hours due to terribly poor scoping of projects. Milestones are fictional, until the last one when everything has to be done all at once.
