Pros

Top-tier Benefits & Colleagues: The compensation package, gaming perks, and wellness benefits are excellent. You get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry. Autonomy & Flexibility: High level of ownership over your projects and a flexible, flat working environment where everyone's voice is heard.

Cons

Limited Vertical Career Growth: Because the organization is highly flat and meritocracy can be subjective, finding opportunities for clear promotions or vertical advancement is extremely difficult.

Pros

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Cons

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
