Pros

You do learn a lot Every toy project is a cross discipline project. Good benefits

Cons

There are people who have been there for 15 to 25 years, they do not do as much work as you do but their pay is so much higher. You have to be verbal and visible. How much work you do actually does not equal to how much work people perceive that you do.

Pros

Depends on your team and manager! If you get a good one, it's great. However, if you get a bad one... it's really bad. Luck of the draw.

Cons

Poor director upper management usually from all departments. They often do lay offs every year, sometimes 2-3 times a year to clean management. Thus causing a lot of churn.
