Pros

Working in the gaming industry is a heck of a lot of fun. The people I've worked with have (in general) been very qualified, and have been great colleagues. Benefits are pretty good and there is lots of flexibility to set your own schedule. Good career advancement if you are willing to work hard for it.

Cons

Management is always chasing the hot thing of the moment, can never settle on anything. Company is extremely segmented/compartmentalized, leading to a lack of alignment on many key issues. Relatively poor salary compared to other companies in the area. Super long hours near milestones that are often unrealistically defined.
