Pros

- Great place to start if you have 0 experience in games. You'll acquire plenty in no time - People within studios are really nice - Games are still downloaded in the millions and some of their brands are widely recognized - This is still a decent name on your resume which will help you get a better job down the road

Cons

- The HQ is Paris is absolutely useless. They're responsible for the lack of growth over the past 5 years - There was some hope when Vivendi came in and removed the top management. Unfortunately, they were all replaced by the people just under them, who just followed their bad practices with fake and shy changes - There is absolutely 0 creative strategy, which is reflected in the 2018 and 2019 line-up - Gameloft hasn't grown for years, while competitors such as Glu, EA Mobile or Zynga have all changed, taken risks, chosen strategies and strived - Talented ppl have left the boat, those remaining are there enjoying comfortable positions and playing politics to stay employed
