Pros

-Great talent from the Product managers, Developers, and Artists. -Environment is open and comfortable place to work in -Most managers seem to be advocates for improving upon processes -Mostly collaborative working environment and everyone is really easy to talk to

Cons

-Preproduction is under used or not at all and blends into the production phase -"Band aiding" seems to be 2nd nature to project sprints -Upper Management takes into consideration opinions but doesn't necessarily confront the conflict to understand what changes are needed. -Approval on processes changes requires you jump through many different hoops. -Projects are sometimes understaffed and expect more than what can be handled.

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.
