Pros

Better benefits than EA. They had a very nice 401k that matched dollar for dollar; EA only matched maybe 25 cents on the dollar. They had ESPP which is always nice.

Cons

You end up working on derivative titles, similar to Acti or EA. The upper/middle management at the location seemed to be a little less experienced than perhaps elsewhere in the industry.

Pros

Right now there are few, but if the company survives its current situation, opportunities will be there as the studios expand once again

Cons

Morale is currently very low, products not receiving support, management seems lost, career opportunities are slim, work environment seems political and strained.

Pros

Working at THQ gives you the ability to work in the video game industry, which is quite appealing these days. Additionally, they are working on every single platform, so the idea of having the ability to work on the platform you're interested in is good for THQ. My experience is only in the Carlsbad studios so it is not a reflection of the entire company, but instead, just a few studios.

Cons

THQ's value proposition appears to be to provide games at a good value to consumers. They don't have breakthrough products in the console or handheld or mobile space. This is reflected in their pay scale, which is generally to purchase value employees rather than superstars.
