Pros

Everyone is great to work with and the environment is simply one of the best you'll ever encounter. The building has everything you could ever hope for and the company never forces you to work in a way that's disruptive to your normal life. Teams are understanding of individual needs and everyone tries to help each other when they can. The talent there is generally top notch. Management is always trying to do the best for the teams and there's never a moment where support isn't offered if you need it. The culture is one of the best and will make you wonder why people have such a negative view of the company as a whole.

Cons

There is a lot of work to do if you're a key individual on a team. Trying to advance is difficult. There are a lot of initiatives and meetings to help people move to a place that they want to, but there's simply no time during the year between projects to realistically try and explore other paths. Additionally, change doesn't happen easily on projects. Because schedules are tight, there's little time to implement big ideas which sucks because people there really do have some great ones. Most people I met spent 4-5 years there before feeling the need to move on to another studio, but you get some great experience during that time.
