Pros

Things are done fast here once you convince the right 1-2 people that it's worth doing. It's a very agile environment and we try to be flexible with our priorities. Everyone is super friendly and easy to get along with. There's lots of social events and the whole office turns into a party on Fridays. Pool table, foosball, ping pong, Nintendo Wii -- it's like a gigantic playground!

Cons

You do have to work hard at this company. Working late into the night past midnight is not the day-to-day norm, but definitely something to you'll come to expect around major release dates, emergency bugs etc. This might be due to the fact that we are quite ambitious with the features we try to cram into each release and management does get stressed out at times.

Pros

they looks for smart people. interviews can be tough, but it's a fun place to work and they respect what you do. They do give young people opportunities to succeed as well and take on their own projects.

Cons

take it or leave it, it is a games company. everybody loves games. sometime though it's like whoa, you know the details of Mario Kart way beyond what a normal human should know.
