Pros

-player experience is the number one focus and this is made very clear. It makes it easy to understand where the companies and your priority should lie. - good product -location can't be beaten -decent pay

Cons

- some very young people in management positions with no formal training. It can feel like you are working with teenagers and a lot of frat mentality shines through - inexperienced managers - extremely long hours on a daily basis for anyone who is not in upper management. This just kills you in the long run, especially when you are asked to do more and more and more. - you will always be asked to do more and more and more and you can't say no because you will be laid off -no communication between departments - it can be scary to see how many people are let go on a weekly basis. The turnover rate is high!

Pros

Pays well and great benefits

Cons

Promotions and salary increases are based on who you know and not making your manager look bad. Lots of meeting and busy work - people are not held accountable for their bad decisions.

Your performance is solely based on relationships

Pros

Very talented people work there. The product is awesome. The brand and reputation make you feel a rockstar. Salaries are good and benefits above market.

Cons

If you don't build a feel-good relationship with specific senior managers you will not thrive. Nice people that don't do anything are better evaluated than hard working people rough around the edges. Meritocracy is a myth.
