Pros

It is a very academic place to work. Lots of research into video game technologies with teaching and simulations. Great building designed by Hollywood designers.

Cons

A little too academic at times. They seemed to be more into research then making actual viable software. Great if your are a researcher. Not so great as a developer.

Pros

Super flexible with work hours, they provide transportation to/from the office, lots of opportunities to work in different areas, attend talks, see the work of other project managers, ect. Overall you learn a lot & are exposed to a lot.

Cons

Bus schedules that take you to/from the office are far apart so you're kinda stuck there for longer than you're supposed to be
