Pros

Competitive pay, good art management, nice atmosphere to work in.

Cons

Location isn't near a decent city - instead it's located in a small suburban city with no character and little excitement.

Pros

Great co-workers, decent office environment, management generally cares, pretty fun project to work on. There are a lot of experienced developers to learn from that are willing to help more green employees get their dev legs. I've had experiences here that I wouldn't trade for the world.

Cons

Potential for career growth is very limited, paths to move up are unclear and promotions sometimes feel arbitrary. All of this depends on department as I have seen well-deserving folks get the recognition and promotions they deserve. However others are left to flounder in limbo, which I've seen de-motivate some folks(no carrot on the end of the stick). Working on a long-term project (like an mmo) can become stale to more veteran team members and the grind can become very real with no alleviation in sight.

Pros

Great people. Good work environment. They took care of employees.

Cons

Their vision of game was outdated before full on development got started. They decided to outsource most of the work which shows in final product.
