Pros

Good Benefits, Good salary, and fun creative people. Free Food is nice. There are also Team-bonding days that are really interesting and fun.

Cons

It is a pretty fast pace, Definitely need to be able to adapt at the ever changing tides in the studio and excel from there on out. Does depend on which branch you are in though.

Too many undelivered promises

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food Smart people I was working on one of the "ville" games and I thought it was going to be a lot more interesting given how many millions of users we had.

Cons

Zero passion about the games Grueling hours - my manager made me cancel a family vacation once Very narrow scope and responsibilities Hug team size plummeting stock price - I was told by the recruiter that we should expect $100 stock price a year after IPO. There should be a law against this.
