Pros

Great benefits and very employee focused company - very forward thinking place - good salaries and pretty good chance for advancement - lots of cross functional jobs

Cons

Too focused on culture and wanting everyone to fit into it. During orientation they say repeatedly, "Just be yourself". What they really mean is be yourself as long as it just like everyone else here. Bottom line: If you are not a gamer and you don't play the game then you don't belong here. Even if your job is not centered on the game or really has anything to do with the game you will be required or "strongly urged" to become a gamer.

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.
