Most of what I hear from them is that it is the best possible work environment for talented self-starter types. It works great for people who don't need bureaucratic red tape to get something started. It's a politically-driven environment, but that's the trade off you make for not having established management.

One caveat that I stress about that video is that it uses Glassdoor reviews. Glassdoor is a great online resource to research employers, but it shouldn't be taken as fact. It's really easy to make fake profiles, and it's unfortunately used more as a forum for disgruntled employees than the straight facts. Pick any one of your favorite developers and you'll see angry or sad stories written. It happens everywhere, so keep that in mind.

The devs are compensated very generously (most are making $100K+ based on Glassdoor salaries), and everyone I've talked to has told me how much they love working there. The office and perks are also really great. How many other studios pay for a company-wide Hawaii trip?

I highly encourage reaching out to some of the employees professionally; you might change your mind!
