Pros

High energy, tons of freedom with serious perks, a staff of creative geniuses that are best in class, with a genuine sense of integrity. A place of gamers for gamers. Most days are a joy here and you get the satisfaction of working on something you really feel makes people happy.

Cons

Loose organization with constant change, really daily tons of change, and (often) very little mentorship would leave anyone who is not highly self-motivated lost at sea. Whole teams will vanish overnight and there is little transparency around priorities, so it can feel hugely chaotic, particularly if you can't jump in to any working group and collaborate smoothly no matter what. Plus the stress of live service - not for everyone.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
