Pros

The people are great. If you have a good manager, you can get some solid promotions and raises. Lots of fun on-campus events.

Cons

Pretty much standard gaming industry downsides: Multiple big layoffs each year, salaries aren’t great because they know they can get away with underpaying people who are passionate about their games, certain teams have a reputation of being very involved with “bro culture.”

Pros

Good work-life balance (but is very dependent on team and role)

Cons

Suffers from the same issues as any big corporates. Corporate structure is inherently dangerous to creativity.
