Pros

Good benefits, great team members, great colleagues and wonderful supportive environment. Travel and experiences and camaraderies was great.

Cons

Working in esports means you could be working almost 24/7. Company is flexible enough for you to take time off as you need but esports is a round-the-clock department and you almost don't even have time to even find time off. Messy leadership and management structure. Small teams and insanely high workload.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
