Pros

Free food. Nice people from around the world.

Cons

Long hours and low pay. PG subscribes to the theory that young college grads are happy and satisfied with games and free food. Fact is, other startups and companies offer these things at much higher pay scales. Very little communication between teams, and scrum is not the answer. Products get released with little testing and product management (usually called technical support or customer care) takes the brunt of the ire from dissatisfied players. Not enough team members to get work done at a quality level. Embarrassed to be affiliated with this company.

Pros

they looks for smart people. interviews can be tough, but it's a fun place to work and they respect what you do. They do give young people opportunities to succeed as well and take on their own projects.

Cons

take it or leave it, it is a games company. everybody loves games. sometime though it's like whoa, you know the details of Mario Kart way beyond what a normal human should know.
