Pros

-Serious emphasis on a fun, game-studio culture. Lots of food and activities -Teams are resourced properly. There are enough people to get the job done -Work/life balance. Never felt like I couldn't leave at the end of the day or take vacation time -A lot of problems to solve. You will learn and grow according to how well you can deal with ambiguity, find solutions, and unblock yourself

Cons

-Poor business decisions. Acquisitions that don't make sense for the long-term...the misguided dedication to the unproven "celeb game" genre...spending a ton of money on numerous executives with questionable backgrounds -Lack of branding focus. Weak PR and marketing departments -Layoffs, layoffs, layoffs. The game industry is unpredictable, but it seems like the mass layoffs in 2015-2017 could have been avoided or mitigated with even a little bit of focus on the big picture
