Pros

Great place to be a part of a functional machine that ships high quality products while keeping one challenged and learning new things. It was fostering place to work for a long time with extremely smart and talented people running the ship. There are some really amazingly good people there.

Cons

Eventually, there seemed to be as many leaders as there were meetings. The professional ladder that leadership wanted employees to climb was to hit an inevitable ceiling. They pushed people to focus climbing the corporate ladder of roles over focusing on the current role/responsibility. Many people, fostering a social network ("climb the ladder") over doing work, leaving a larger workload for others to complete. Many people refuse to give credit to where credit is due. Competition is so fierce that some in that environment would rather take credit for the things they did not do as opposed to give credit to where the credit is due. Just like any place, be sure to know who to avoid and who to chum up to. If you're a quiet one, be ready to do work and get minimal recognition.

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.
