Pros

Great co-workers who love making games, relaxed atmosphere, free snacks, and free dinner when you work late, which you'll be doing a lot. You get to make games and get paid for it..

Cons

You'll end up living there for months on end, so don't plan on ever seeing your family. Terrible pay, with pathetic raises, which in combination with the grueling hours means you're often working for less than minimum wage. Very few chances for advancement, constant reorganization, and all of the instability that comes with it. You are expendable and easily replaced.

Pros

Great people to work with Great culture with top notch Ops/HR Team, they put in an obvious effort to make the company fun and interesting Free food Fun company parties The company is dealing with the transition to mobile games the best they can

Cons

Negative attitudes by some long term employees having to switch from Xbox/PS3/DS development to Mobile becomes contagious. You'd think they would be happy to even have a job, but it seems nothing is ever good enough for a select few. No relevant training to increase skills No clear path to go from Contract to FTE Management looks elsewhere to fill open positions when many times they have someone, like a Tester/Intern/Contractor, right in front of their eyes that can do the job
