Pros

- Dublin office is full of passionate, talented, mission-driven people from all over Europe. - Pretty good work life balance, especially for a gaming company. - Plenty of on the job / off the job opportunities to make an impact for players. - As good a place to solve global, interesting problems as any.

Cons

- Multiple 'tiers' of employees. Long history of cutting contractors on a whim, even before the contract terms are up. - Too much authority is centralized in LA. Regional offices have very limited autonomy. - Extremely long interview process (2 months is fast, 3-4 months is typical)

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.
