Pros

Pocket Gems has a super fun gaming/startup culture. It's a great job straight out of college that will show you the ropes and allow you to progress your career. Everyone is very smart and very nice.

Cons

Pocket Gems isn't growing and hasn't really made any games that the market has responded to recently. They're still trying to figure out "how to make a great game" and until that happens, there won't be much progression in the company.

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.
