Pros

- Innovative environment - Nice, intelligent & Creative people to work with - Good atmosphere between managers and workers - Lots of opportunities to bring out your own ideas and shine if you have the skills and are willing to put the time in - Possibility to work and advance to work in Helsinki, San Mateo, Barcelona, Bangalore

Cons

- Too many mediocre games made, instead of focusing on couple of really great ones - Sometimes hard to understand what is happening next, as focus shifted during the years many times, this is understandable though as the marketplace and customers changes rapidly too - Too much focus on how many hours you are working, and not actually focusing on the results - The place seems to be modern in many ways, but there is a lot of old thinking in terms of how the job should be done, ie. daily meetings that are not needed or could be done from home, people looking funny at you if taking naps or not staring at the display 8 hours a day

Pros

Very fun atmosphere. Cool facilities with cafeterias and game rooms. Pay is good. It gives you nice curriculum. It's a company large enought to learn a lot, and small enought to feel your work actually adds a lot into the final product.

Cons

If you are into producing high quality games, this might not be the place for you. They rather publish a mediocre game full of bugs, than waiting a week or two to publish a quality product. They have periods where employee dismisal is almost automatic in order to reduce workforce and meet budgets.
