Pros
Awesome projects on AAA titles Get to face good technical challenges and gain good experience Flexible work hours On-site gym and clinic
Cons
Management practices/procedures end up creating silos, knowledge sharing should be encourage more. Pay is not competitive, specially if you gain seniority and experience pay lags.

Pros
Free games, awesome offices and super cool ambiance. Work / family balance Progressive company values Mobility (local-international) opportunities Offer training and education support
Cons
Salary not that high, but still good. Hard to escalate the professional ladder. Not always the best at recognizing effort. Internal politics. Crony promotions Big company, can feel anonymous for some. Many leads, product managers, and senior designers to make ambitious plans.
Advice to Management
Stop promoting always the same people. Stop the crony promotion.

Pros
Stable and experienced teams that constantly ship titles. Relaxed and low key atmosphere until it comes time to ship but certainly not a "100 hour a week" company.
Cons
Egos can get a little out of control on some of the bigger titles, but for the most part, the people in general are good to work with and down to earth.
Advice to Management
Trust the people to do the jobs you hired them for.
