Pros

Cheap games, free food, basketball court, soccer field, gym – tons of amenities. If you like making video games, you might enjoy this place.

Cons

If you're creative, you might hate this place. It's a huge company, and so there is very little opportunity for the typical employee to have a say in the vision or direction of anything important.

Advice to Management

Innovate on a small scale. Try sending your developers off to make a few smaller, "indie"-type games and see what happens.
