Pros

Great benefits and very employee focused company - very forward thinking place - good salaries and pretty good chance for advancement - lots of cross functional jobs

Cons

Too focused on culture and wanting everyone to fit into it. During orientation they say repeatedly, "Just be yourself". What they really mean is be yourself as long as it just like everyone else here. Bottom line: If you are not a gamer and you don't play the game then you don't belong here. Even if your job is not centered on the game or really has anything to do with the game you will be required or "strongly urged" to become a gamer.
