Pros

Great atmosphere, less like co-workers and more like a family. Lots of helping each-other and trying to stick to the core values of the company. Good medical benefits.

Cons

The pay isn't good enough for the work you're expected to do as you're doing all of them (account support, tech support, in-game support). The management staff may become political depending on management style (does not apply to all managers)

Pros

- Mostly stable environment (in 8 years I have seen one Layoff) - social cred in your friend circle working for this company - decent environment (nerd bunker)

Cons

- promises made that aren't kept (like: Yes, you can move from CS to development) - constant implementation of more red tape and superfluous procedures for the sake of being "professional" - CS is treated like lower class employees

Pros

People you work with are the best; relaxed atmosphere; relaxed dress code; nigh-monthly company social events.

Cons

Pay is well below industry standards though benefits are expected to make up for that. Promotions can be scarce as most hiring for technical jobs are done from outside the company.
