Pros

Large company with a large number of AAA game titles to work on. The company is well known enough that it is great for your resume.

Cons

The processes, procedures, and hours that you might work vary a lot between studios and teams. There can also be a feeling of anonymity in such a large company.

Advice to Management

Game development can be done in a timely manner without awful crunch hours. You just need better planning and to not build a schedule that actually includes extra time.
