Pros

If you are working on an established franchise like The Sims, you have a very stable career.

Cons

If you work on a legacy game like The Sims 4, you have to deal with a giant legacy codebase which doesn’t use the latest technology.

Advice to Management

Give employees a chance to work with the latest technology. (e.g., do a temporary “internship program” on the latest, not-yet-released game).
