Pros

Coming from big corporate, this was a huge breath of fresh air. The company is still young enough to be nimble, but big enough to put resources towards what it wants to accomplish. I feel comfortable being myself, and the people here all have something to nerd out about, even if it isn't always games. The dress code is casual, but everyone is super passionate. It has opportunity to make new things, and carve out your own mark. The campus is amazing. The meal plan has helped me be healthier than I've ever been (even though the pizza makes me want to choose otherwise), and I couldn't imagine any other way to bond with my coworkers than using our awesome computer and peripherals to battle it out on any number of different games.

Cons

I struggle to pull myself away from work sometimes. There's never a shortage of things to do, or cool things to work on. My boss and peers are supportive of me taking time off, but you have to be willing to set up your own limits..

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.
