Pros

they pay well over the median in many roles. It's a highly political work environment and if you have the street smarts you can fail upwardly there in a spectacular way. The game development people are some of the best and most innovative in the industry.

Cons

The politics, the inept and dissconnection of the senior management team with the core business and the product itself, the number of low talent middle managers, the greedy mindset of many of the suits. The footy boofhead mentality of a number of the old guard. The fundamental lack of respect

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.

Pros

The people are the best part of this company and the reason I endured for so long.

Cons

There is constant upheaval internally. I had 5 VPs in the span of 4 years. Endured multiple reorgs with a carrot of a promotion held in front of me to be told, "just wait another year." The poor managers are constantly trying to hire people, but HR will pause the job req last second almost every time.
