Pros

The projects and teams are top rate. They really look after their people, by providing a number of external incentives such as free transport to and from work, they give us free membership to a fully equipped gymnasium with an outdoor pool, and they provide free breakfast and lunch. Management is constantly giving us movie 'swag' from before and after each movie release, and they are open and fair with their company policies.

Cons

As it is a big corporation, they can be very conservative with their work place practices. It can be a little corporate at times. The commute from San Francisco to Redwood city is a pain in the arse, as it is an hour and a half each way, to I spend a total of 3 hours in transit every day....Mind you, I don't own a car.

Pros

I have been working here for last 3 years and it is a nice place to work. You are surrounded by creative minds and the work environment is very nice. They have very good perks like free breakfast and lunch, free caltrain pass etc.

Cons

It is very much production driven environment. Most of the developer time is spent on maitaining the existing code than developing new software.
