Pros

- Several interesting franchises to work on. - You can move around and change projects or even titles in the company if your tastes change. - Location not in a stressful place.

Cons

Too many people get promoted or get to the next "level" and *then* get lazy after some time. Since they never downgrade employees unless they do something horribly wrong, you find yourself with a lot of employees who have reached the top (or whatever they think their personal top is) but who clearly wouldn't be able to reach it again if they needed to prove themselves today. The employer seems to want so much to keep so called top-level employees and especially the ones that started the studio in 1997 that they will never confront them with what they truly deliver today. Working with such people when you are hard-working and motivated is a real turn off.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
