Pros

- Given chance to build own team - Worked with some of the industry best

Cons

- Lots of people promoted as 'industry experts' but without the skill - Hired from bad companies in Europe - No career improvement, even when working at a higher level - All approvals had to go through the US, so there was often no '24x7' until someone in US came in. - Rely to heavily on 'well it worked for us before' than designing or investigating new solutions - Like much of the game industry, expected to work until you break down. Many people working 90+ hour weeks.
