Pros

Variety of tasks - you are expected to do stuff you don't know how to do and even unrelated to your primary job Many challenges to overcome Best people - as professionals and as persons If you are here, it's most likely you'll like it here. You will understand it during long interview process

Cons

Product feedback is taken as obligatory - good but unpopular idea isn't going anywhere Many people who are responsible for the same stuff - so no quick decisions or mess Average salary (you expect more from top gaming company) Too many meetings - almost impossible to find a time of a person you need You don't know what's going on in the company (new games, etc) due to security reasons Not clear growth system There is always "we" in success and "you" in failure

Pros

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Cons

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
