Pros

Salary is OK, experience is good, a lot of resources available for new SEs working in games, a lot of smart people to learn from.

Cons

Pressure to work more hours, centralized teams can create resentment and a lot of red tape to get things done that should really be simple. Currently the video game market is in a bit of a transition - many of them have laid off employees, including EA which has had over 10% of total workforce cut across the board in the last 6 months. Merit increases for all employees have been frozen until further notice.
