Pros

Bungie supports and embraces individuals creativeness. Your opinion is valued even if you disagree with individuals. This is really a company that looks for and embraces people that are self-motivated and are willing to interact with other teams and push the boundaries of the game. The growth at Bungie is great. We have reviews every 6 months these are peer reviews and if you are performing above what your level and you are working hard you can be promoted. I do not know many companies that promote people every six months but Bungie is one of them. The work life balance is great I work 8 - 9 hours a day 5 days a week. I have only had to crunch a couple times and even when crunching it was like 10 hour days for a week or two. Bungie has some of the best benefits I have ever seen in the industry they go well above and beyond when it comes to keeping their employees happy. Bungie also has performance bonuses and profit sharing this means every 6 months you will get one or the other this can range from a 3k - 9k.

Cons

It tends to take too much time to get approval from the higher ups to proceed with something and this tends to slow down production and leads to some crunch.

Pros

The people are what made working at Bungie amazing, a lot of very smart & talented people.

Cons

A massive talent drain over the past three rounds of layoffs. Lots of fumbled bets by past leadership that lasted long after they left. The benefits used to be stellar but got reduced year over year after Sony acquisition due to 'belt tightening' & aligning to Sonys benefits. Future is very questionable for the studio.
