Pros

-Really great ICs and fun projects -Decent amount of ownership on small scales

Cons

-Fired me due to an unfounded rumor on social media, no relation to work relations or output. Company rather bury everything; gossip, nepotism, and making friends are the only thing the company values from their employees -Very little ability to move upwards or start to own larger scale features -Very low pay compared to other game companies, especially traditional tech

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
