Pros

Many hardworking and smart people in every studio, also decent benefits. Much better than it was in 2004. No real opportunities for creative fulfillment.

Cons

They tend to not be too careful about hiring, and culture can be a real problem. You will definitely feel like a small part of something large.

Advice to Management

Invest in some smaller projects and rotate people onto them, allowing people to wear many hats that they wouldn't normally. Plus, you might find "The Next Big Thing" by starting small.
