Pros

Working at 2K is a constant enjoyment that is always filled with fun and entertainment.

Cons

Making really large game titles can sprout some egos along the way.

Pros

Nice environment in the suburbs of north bay area. People are polite for the most part. "Nice-looking" titles to have for your portfolio. They pay 150% for overtime, yay! (if you're okay with having your soul sucked out)

Cons

No challenge in the artistic avenue, they're just recycling the same game every year and slapping a new sticker on the box. Just tons of the same tweaks over and over, you'll really feel like you go to crank a lever everyday. You won't really improve and will feel like back to square-one once you leave. I recommend do personal work on the side, no matter how much you may not want to after 40hrs a week at this factory. The pay is good if you came from working a day-job at the mall. Just don't compare your salary to other large game companies if you want to stay in blissful ignorance. (but then again, you're not doing much real talent work) Lots of bottle necking due to poor management. Like most companies, gossip flows like herpes, stay the hell away from the peanut gallery is my advice.

Pros

Pay is good, people in your department can be nice.

Cons

Disorganized, chaotic, if you aren't friends with the right people you can't get anything done. Communication from take-two and from senior management is almost non-existent.
