Pros
Video game companies are fun to work for, the personal environment is great, with campus cafeteria, gym, movie theater, and soccer field. Team environment is encouraged.
Cons
No respect from upper management, dog eat dog is an understatement when it comes to the employee backstabbing to get ahead. Almost impossible to be reclassified into a higher paying position. Guaranteed to be working for more than 60 hours per week, and likely over 100 hours per week during 'crunch' periods, which can last up to six months long. Beware of being shipped to a foreign country to work on a project, only to be kept there for a lot longer than intitially planned (at one point I went to canada for a three week stint, only to remain for almost four months).
