Pros

- Interesting IP with many opportunities to work on interesting tech - All tech is developed in-house, letting you touch all aspects you're interested in - Open atmostphere - you can contribute design and give feedback and you'll know it gets considered.

Cons

- Compensation is lacking. Less than what you'd make at EA or other nearby large studios. - Leadership likes to play it too safe. Difficult to convince them to experiment or try out new paradigms, programming techniques, etc - Codebase is a mess in some places. Lots of ugly code on there - a lot of it was written to hit frequent milestone deliverables. Technical debt is very high.
