Pros

It's just too fun to work here. Ideally, everyone around the office is playful and fun to work with. In addition to having fun, it's nice to be around other skilled techs who I would be proud to refer to as my peers.

Cons

The cappucino machine is too far from my desk. Not as many nerf wars as I suspected. I feel that a few people work against the easy going environment, which errs away from the vision that was explained to me here.

Pros

Work on some of the most popular video games in the world. Work with a few awesome individuals & make lfriends for life. On site game store with generous discounts. Opportunities for advancement for certain disciplines.

Cons

Lower level employees dealt with sexism & favoritism despite skill & experience level. Too many beefcake bros looking out for bros until pressure was applied from the managers, then vicious backstabbing would occur to each other and the TFTs they managed. Managers lying to ur face about full time employment possibilities & caring about ur complaints. Experience & seniority didn't seem to matter when it came to layoffs. they'd let go older employees frequently because of over budgeting & then in turn give jobs to others based off of looks and/or friendships. Instead of trying to keep these seemingly irreplaceable/ valuable employes they'd would instead spend money re-modeling the interior of they're building, pay Internet celebrities to appear, play expensive pranks on each other and/or would have expensive elaborate launch parties for games... even if those games were expected to not do well. And lastly, leads "walking home" with people that worked "underneath" them... & then these people getting fulltime jobs. Sounds unbelievable... I know.
