Pros
  • Great Facility: Library to borrow games, movies, and books for reference or personal use.
  • Company Store: Offers cheap games.
  • Cafeteria: Has decent food, an arcade, foosball and pool tables, and TVs above the urinals.
  • High Budget Projects: It's an awesome experience to be part of AAA development.
  • Great stepping stone for someone entering the Game Industry.
Cons
  • Mad OT
  • Company politics, more than the norm
  • Ratio for project manager to worker bee is almost laughable.
  • Easy for people to not pull their weight, since teams are larger.
Advice to Management

Take care of talent and make sure they're happy and not burnt out.
