Pros

Boundless opportunity Access to capital + means to bring ambitions to reality Nascent company, lots to grow/change/impact Company has serious growth ambition Gamer stuff Free stuff Awesome stuff Lots of extremely talented people around

Cons

-Planning and arbitration are, as everyone mentions, an issue. Such is the life of a burgeoning billion dollar company. It's an opportunity for those who lead. It's disastrous for folks who cannot self-direct.

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.
