Pros: Informal atmosphere, no strict dress code, young teams. Great for a first job experience or summer job during college. Working with video game development.

Cons: No real career plan. Managers hire contractors to do permanent jobs. No benefits at all. Lack of communication from HR. Managers rely on connections instead of real job skills. Very limited job. Different tasks cannot be done by contractors. Unless you have connections with someone from the game development area, it will be quite difficult to get a position.
