Pros: Immense job satisfaction, Prestige, Perks, such as on-campus dining, exercise facilities, volleyball, basketball, movie theater, library, arcade rooms, etc., etc.

Cons: Lazy or inept co-workers (speaking only of quality assurance). Managers that manage people based on second-hand assumptions about an individual instead of actual experience with an individual (once again, referring to quality assurance). Leads that abuse their position to cut corners but then penalize individuals who don't cut corners because they 'take too long', even if they still finish within the assigned, allotted work-time (quality assurance). Mandatory overtime is illegal, but employees were told they should volunteer for overtime 'if they value their job'. Was working approximately 80 hours a week when the SC 2 GoldMaster disc was shipped. One of the lowest-paying studios in the industry.

Pros: Great environment and amazing people.

Cons: You can feel taken advantage of if you have skill sets outside of your job. You are asked to fill roles until someone else is hired to do so. Opportunities are not always awarded fairly.

Pros: The people at Blizzard are great. There's a lot of passionate folks, and they're all very nice.

Cons: There isn't as much high-level planning for technology. Career opportunities are basically nonexistent. They're opaque about pay. A lot of executive shenanigans with stock buybacks and such, which leads me to believe that games are secondary. A total lack of communication about plans for the company or addressing issues of pay. Since I've started, a lot of cool perks have been walked back.
