Pros
If you're looking for no crunch (NONE), decent insurance, genuinely great coworkers and a studio that cares about their employees mental health, you will find none better than Snowed In. Unlimited sick days and good amounts of Paid Time Off are fantastic.
Cons
Canadian game dev salaries are already lower than American ones, but even as far as Canadian game dev salaries go, the ones offered by Snowed In Studios are insulting. Management has little interest in seeing you improve and are fully content to let you languish, even if you are constantly trying.
