Pros

Office culture, incredible co-workers, generous health benefits, extensive video and board game library, showers and bike racks in the building, perks like free snacks/drinks/beer/gym membership - this is a great place for active people!

Cons

Depends on the project and department, but in general: Inefficiencies everywhere. Unrealistic planning. Lack of meaningful feedback in reviews, lack of mentorship and documentation of best practices, making it difficult to improve or get promoted depending on the department. Departments feel somewhat separated and, at times, combative towards each other. The studio is particularly bad at killing projects that don't work, allowing them to drag for entirely too long. Muddled long-term vision, subject to the whims of upper management. Chaotic upper management decisions and seemingly arbitrary deadlines on certain projects that often leave employees scrambling and frustrated.
