Pros

Great engine tech Very nice people to work with on a day to day level Nice to work on truly AAA projects Reasonably well managed projects with not much overtime.

Cons

Incredibly cheap company, especially when compared to studios in the States. Absolutely no perks. Not even coffee. Embarrassing wages and raises. It'd be nice to know where all the money from hit games like Assassins Creed is going. They take advantage of the fact that they're the only studio in town, capitalizing either on students right out of school, or senior talent who have family in the city and can't leave Toronto. Unlike working for a small studio, you are truly a tiny cog in the machine of thousands of workers.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
