Pros

It's a French company so a lot of the mentality is French - lots of time off, free food, and a guaranteed paycheck as long as you don't mess up egregiously. Also, you get to play games at work (duh), the office is in a great location near ATT Park, you definitely get the wow factor when you bring people through the building. It seems like a fun place to work and most of the time it is.

Cons

Management puts you in a prescribed role and keeps you there. Some of the employees are nice and cool but a lot of them fall into the gamer geek category - no social skills, bad skin, you know the type. Pay is much less than at other companies, because they figure you really want to work in video games you are willing to take a pay cut.

Pros

In San Francisco, the benefits are not bad. There are great programs like Christmas with kids, free games, and a healthy respect for your time off and family balance when it comes to maternity leave. The people are also really great overall. Individually there are wonderful people there and there's a great creative energy in many teams like Brand, Marketing, and Creative Services.

Cons

All the other reviews are dead on. Politically charged with completely out of touch and inept management. The management is failing investing in weak products and poor direction. There is far too many levels of oversight and bureaucracy and little recognition. Most of all, there's a ceiling where you must speak french to be promoted. It is a terrible place to work where people smile at you and then maneuver to take credit for your work. Especially in the studios its barely better than third world labor. People are treated like cattle and incompetent middle managers take all the credit while deflecting blame on to others. There are tremendous failures that would embarrass any other company, but it seems that managers always just get promoted. They are no longer in any position to actually acquire quality talent. Once they run their IPs of Assassin's Creed and Just Dance into the ground this company will be lined up for bankruptcy.
