Pros

At a time, a good assortment of talented, experienced hard working people fun to work with. Managed by like minded people. Good work environment with the usual studio perks offered ie, games, ping pong, fuzeball, and Friday beer parties. Great location. Nice employees.

Cons

People with experience, subdued by higher management, constant pressure for overtime. Most of the people that helped make the studio good in past, have been driven out via frustration, exhaustion from working in this manner over and over. Location and climate alone are a great reason to relocate. The people hiring you will likely use that as a main point of enticement to work there. Along with a signing bonus. But once you are moved free of charge, it's used more as leverage so you will agree to do overtime. I'd say the work aesthetics there are good as there are many like minded-young people around who enjoy game design -some very clever people that you can learn a lot from. But if you expect to have a job that will leave you available for dinner with your family on a regular basis, then it's something that this place won't be inclined to help you with. They don't exactly force you to do the overtime, but they will make you feel indirectly responsible for it and in most cases will be the direct cause of it themselves due to their own mismanagement.
