Pros

Good work life balance People are mostly pleasant to work with

Cons

Super slow-moving processes A lot of red tape and cooks in the kitchen. People just want to chime in on an idea to say they contributed while slowing down the processes Many layoffs and reorgs that don't do anything to shift the strategic lens o the company, but decrease employee motivation to try Living in the legacy of their hit IP, but total business performance is sinking. Share price hasn't risen in 5 years.

Good benefits if you get hired.

They mostly hire temp employees so they don’t have to pay benefits, but you aren’t temp. You are full time.
