Pros

Some big titles on the slate and a lot of hard working folks in the trenches. Not many other options in LA if you are tired of the SF market as I was.

Cons

Exec management team is generally clueless and come from other failed startups and/or fired from previous massive corps, failure to address basic problems and do not care about employees. Witnessed some pretty bad illegal treatment of folks in my time here and shocked there haven't been lawsuits. Good luck if you are a female there around the old boys club. Act like they care but it's all about whatever gets the CEO more vanity press. Run far far away especially if you are an engineer. Lots of better options!!

Pros

Great pay, good work-life balance

Cons

Leadership on game teams doesn't have a lot of oversight, which leads to much different experiences across teams. Scopely is investing more in games at earlier stages of production, but doesn't know what to do with the talent if the game doesn't work out. Expect layoffs or a lot of confusion if you're not working on a released project.
