Pros

* Free snacks and drinks. * Co-workers are generally nice, though some are Asbergerish and odd. * Salaries are industry average, PTO and benefits are as well.

Cons

* Poorly run and managed. * Large corporation, no concern for employees. * Only one product, all eggs are in one basket. * Product has been poorly received in marketplace, missed target audience. * Company has had two layoffs since April 2014 game release, with more very likely to come. * Income stream was vastly overestimated, company is being propped up by other divisions in corporation, not likely to continue much longer. * Company has very poor reputation for quality control due to management's refusal to allow polish time of product, release and subsequent updates have been full of major and minor bugs, further alienating target audience.

Pros

- Face time with seasoned developers if you show some initiative - Access to industry standard development tools gives some awesome hands-on experience - Overtime pay is paid after shift and not after amount of time worked reaches 40 hours in a week - Great networking opportunity if you reach out to contractors - You WILL get a taste of what it's like to be in the Game Industry - PTO and decent Benefits - Laid back

Cons

- Commute is hellish if you aren't local - HR department unresponsive - IT department unresponsive - Clique-driven office politics often damn employees who don't mesh well - Issues balancing laid back atmosphere and professional work environment - VERY poor training - Drastic variation in work load - HIGH turnover - Terrible parking - VERY difficult to move up because of Cryonism - Work felt trivial and unfulfilling
