Pros

Great culture with highly passionate coworkers who all have a shared interest in gaming and making great things for players

Cons

Slow consensus driven culture with no clear decision owners, in some teams there is low ceiling for growth outside of LA due to leaders holding onto power rather than delegating or empowering others
