Pros

Telecommuting is generally enjoyable and flexible. Most of the team is friendly and helpful.

Cons

The work is uninspiring, and many project managers, despite their good intentions, take on too much. As a result, communication can be sporadic and disorganized at times. The company prizes its clients and will really work to make them happy, but as an employee, that can mean aggressive timelines for project launches and deliverables from time to time (including evenings and weekends now and then), but punctuated with unofficially slow times that are difficult to fully enjoy because the threat of urgent projects tends to loom.

Pros

Great core team, great work product, cool sector, interesting research, fun working environment, remote-friendly, met amazing friends and family on the job, learned a ton.

Cons

Hours can be long and sporadic, work can be challenging (not always in a positive developmental opportunity kind of a way), staffing can be very difficult in today's work-life climate, competition is everywhere and growing every year, while the industry we serve is consolidating and can become more and more difficult to expand within.

Pros

Work from home. You get to see video game characters from unreleased titles.

Cons

Management is fragmented and doesn't communicate well. CEO is absent, and when you hear from him, he writes incredibly aggressive and angry emails full of swears. The managers have no management training. They expect you to return emails at midnight on a weekend. No upward mobility.
