Pros

Working on the Biggest properties in the world, Was once very large bonuses, Great People to work with (some bad apples), Awards were won.

Cons

Long hours, lots of politics. Not the greatest work life balance, though much of that is self imposed, and not management mandated.

Pros

-the people you work with

Cons

-little to no career advancement -revolving door of leadership, the overwatch and call of duty leagues have had a new commissioner/president every year it feels like -the news stories are correct, which loses the leagues sponsorship money -little to no communication with my manager -pay increases are less then inflation on a % basis -non-existent HR department, there is no head of HR let alone a reliable HR department -bonuses are insultingly small -massive layoffs every year to two years -no career path discussions or roadmapping -common career advice for advancement is "leave for another company for a couple years then come back for a higher job title". -the good jobs are in game development not esports
