Pros

Not many. The benefits are one of the few good reasons to work here. If a new Austin company were looking to staff quickly, I would suggest head hunting from their Team Leads and below. There is an abundance of good people who know how to work hard but have had to work under flaccid management, poor support systems, and the general feeling that their positions were always expendable.

Cons

There has been a lack of competent western leadership. Terrible relationship and communication with the Korean HQ. I would not advise applying to the Austin location for any position. If the next product to launch fails, I don't see a future for the company beyond ArenaNet.
