Pros

Great salary and interesting space and problems to work on.

Cons

Does not trust developers nor their experience, and requires over-validating and extremely scrutinous review processes. Fear of breaking all games for every change.

Pros

Total compensation is top of the market. Good benefits, matching 401k, free DEXA scans, nice HQ.

Cons

Chaotic management. Violatile stock price, one year you can make a lot of money with your RSUs, the next year its all worthless. Progression is hard, on paper they have a standardized rubric for leveling engineers but when it comes to calibration that's when the gaslighting and the caveat starts.
