Pros

Lean environment gives you access to the entire business which in turn offers you an opportunity to 'make an impact'. There is also a common goal that appears to be shared across the business - everyone is pulling in the same direction (which is generally a well thought out and lucrative plan). Large company with a sense of entrepreneurial ambition which I found resulted in a great way to learn fast.

Cons

Sometimes needed more clarity around the expectations for individual contributors. Whilst it is great being tasked with projects etc, there always seemed a need for many hands to be involved which could sometimes result in mixed strategy or a constant change in the desired outcome of the project.

Pros

They shower you with games and other swag everytime a new game is released. Celebrations and parties regularly. Lots of seminars and training to learn new skills. People are generally very open to helping out.

Cons

When new leadership arrives. Look out. Politics abound. Look out. Your head might be on the chopping block. Also they focus on profits at the sake of quality.

Pros

Good to get experience, the team is the big + of this job.

Cons

The pay is not great, you can work week ends for months and sometimes stay until really late. No long-term contract and almost no hope of growing inside the company.
