Pros

- Good work environment. - Private minibus service to and from Leamington. - In house canteen with acceptable prices. - Salary was good enough.

Cons

- Can potentially end up working in an entry level position for years with no promotion in sight. - EA gutted what once was a great and highly effective QA department, I don't think EA really understood what they had when they bought Codemasters.
