      Pros

      You get to work on an amazing product and work with great colleagues. Work is double-edged sword. Work atmosphere is generally relaxed, but fear and extreme long hours runs rampant.

      Cons

      You will be working extreme overtime outside crunch time for low pay. Upper management has little leadership skills and breeds unhealthy environment. You'll have to do your job without sense of direction and lots of ambiguity. Lack of communication causes struggle on both ends to the upper management and employees.

      Pros

      good office. great friends, ok benefits (healthcare and that. cheap canteen with good food big desks and enough space to work

      Cons

      low salary no over time pay outdated methods, no real benefits for working there other that small discounts in the clothing store, the events are not fun and can't talk about it outside work, one of their HR people is a bully no interest on employee development just the work you do. No interest from some highups look like they just want to be paid and no passion or interest.

      Not for the half-hearted devs. Your family and social life will suffer.

      Pros

      You will get to work with incredibly talented individuals who really do love their job and also you will get to work on some of the greatest games in the industry. The culture is a positive for most and I feel like they do treat those who are talented well and try to keep them satisfied. Over the years change has been frustratingly slow sometimes but I feel like leadership is taking the company as a whole (together with all R* studios) in the right direction regarding employment, hire/fire and technology. Despite the work conditions I do feel like management is very understanding and relatively open, but of course there are politics.

      Cons

      AAA game development culture in general favors overtime, crunch and stressful environments and R* San Diego is probably the worst. There will be a lot of mandatory overtime and not a lot of time for home or social life. I've seen several divorces, relationships fall apart and socially inclined employees get burned out. Some people just flat out resign due to the missed time at home. There also seems to be some resistance to change not only with work ethic but also technology.
