Pros

- friendly and helpful colleagues - great benefits (fruit, gym, yoga, language lessons, sometimes financial bonuses, release parties with food and drinks, awesome teambuildings ) - CEO That is willing to talk with you whenever you want. - basically, anyone can work here. (for a minimal wage of course)

Cons

- unpaid overtimes - low salary - FCO who doesn't know anything about game industry or people in game industry. - no new projects, you will be producing DLCs till the end of your life - ancient technology (old game engine, obsolete pipelines) - if you are a 3D artist you will probably burnout after some time, because of the lack of creativity and repetitive tasks.

Pros

Good games, skilled developers, cool offices, passionate CEO.

Cons

The studio grew but didn't change its mindset. The CEO doesn't seem to enjoy running the studio much so he lets the incompetent, unchecked, micromanaging CFO run it into the ground. It's a slow process, because the games sell well. Which makes SCS similar to Titanic. You can hear music in the first class plays, officers insist on the course, the whole thing seems unsinkable, but the cold dark water level rises steadily.
