Pros

Nice benefits package. You can work average if you expect average payment. If you can find the "right group", if such exists, you can grow in the company.

Cons

Too political place. Everything has to make everybody happy, which makes things not work after all. Usually you get stuck with lousy explanations on why you can't get a raise, a promotion or bonus. Most of the time the managers are "with their hands tied" to get you the rewards.

Pros

Benefits! Challenging, fast-paced work, TONS of opportunities for professional growth. Great people. Knowing you're making a different in the industry.

Cons

It's in Redmond, which is a really lame area in general. Of course, they've made it very easy to commute from Seattle. :)

Pros

Benefits, and time off. Good management in the marketing org.

Cons

It is political and there is a lack of dev talent. This was a publishing company that is now trying to do dev and instead they focus on distractions outside the core competency of developing games.
