Pros

Good pay, medical benefits, bonuses. If you like working on campus the food situation is out of control with a free cafeteria, fully stocked break rooms, coffee shop, and smoothie bar. There is also an arcade to play in if you ever get a minute to do that kind of thing.

Cons

Has become more of a corporation with a clear objective to maximize the appearance of profits at the expense of the artists with layoffs under the guise of corporate responsibility. The original vision of being the most player focused game company feels a bit lost in the new environment. Big bets are now met with big layoffs of people who didn't make the big bet to begin with while those in senior leadership who make the big bets are free to make bigger bets in the future with other peoples careers.
