Pros

Location: it's right across from the burlingame caltrain, so it's an easy walk to a ton of cool places to shop or have lunch Culture: Less gamer-y than your typical gaming company. People don't have toys and plushies on their desks, so it can look a bit stern. But the office is pretty open and there's a lot of natural light (if you're on the lightside) and relaxing darkness (if you're on the darkside). People: Everyone not top management is cool. People are chill and no one smells. It doesn't get loud except during planned events. Office manager is super cool. There's a Culture Committee that plans events. Also since they work with actual vegas properties, there are many vegas trips Noms: bagels on mondays, eatclub lunch weds/thurs, and all your standard snacks. But again, if you need a snack there are places a block or two away. T-Pumps AND a Quickly for you boba lovers!

Cons

work/life balance needs some attention. People are burning out. Upper management needs to relax. I mean actually relax- take a break because several of you are stressing out so much that it's starting to trickle down. Parking: getting blocked in is no fun, and it will happen. IT is such a pain to work with. You don't start with a keyboard and mouse- you have to put in an order for one. so you'll probably be without for the first day or two and instead you're stuck using a trackpad. gross. Music. in the morning, there's music playing. One person asked who was playing music, and once it was discovered no one has complained since. Very aggressive release cadence. Micromanagement leads to lack of creative flexibility.
