      Unstable and shifty.

      Pros

      The the environment was nice while it lasted. Worked there for 6 years. It really depends on your department. Working in the back end departments vs working in marketing and higher up production- its a completely different company. The people (artist) in our dept were amazing to work with. Free food.

      Cons

      There is are no cons to working here. Obviously. That's the face you have to put on if you want to continue working there.

      Good pay, good benefits, free lunches and lots of other random perks.

      Pros

      Free food and parking Until recently, relatively stable if you meet some minimum requirements Occasioal interesting projects

      Cons

      Top heavy Management unable or unwilling to understand the underlying messages in their actions. In some projects the ratio of implementers to 'management' was 1:7 or so (!) Meetings used to diffuse responsibility and delay action and mask lack of insight to problems instead of actual analysis and planning.
