      Pros

      * Lots of benefits: private healthcare, bonuses, cookies etc etc * A lot of money invested to level the employes up: trainings, GDC, internal dev conferences, etc * They have enough money to make project of any scale

      Cons

      * Soviet development culture: if something went wrong, find someone to blame * Terrible management on all levels: people are promoted for their loyalty, even if they have no clue. A result of fast growth not having enough competent people. * Blinded by WoT success: rather than just admitting that World of Tanks appealed to new niche and that's main reason of it's success, WG tops decided that now they're immune to failure and are always right. One word: soviets. * Lots of politics inside the company. Combine it with "find one to blame" and you get the "Game of Thrones" mentioned in another review

      Pros

      Interesting tasks. During my work, I created the first version of water in the World of Tanks, programmed lighting effects and system of decals. Now I'm working on a project to improve clients physics. In the nearest future, I'm planning to develop an entity component system. It's not necessary to become a manager. I tried to be a team lead, but it was not very exciting for me. My tasks included maintaining the stability of the tank client and managing a team of 6 people. When I finally realized that management is not for me, I talked to my superiors and switched to clients physics. Freedom of action and promotion of initiative. If the idea is reasonable, it will be brought into the backlog and sent to work. Of course, it depends on the complexity of development, but in general, it's not difficult to bring a reasonable idea to life. Competitive salary.

      Cons

      If you are not initiative, you will be bored. Interesting tasks go to those who suggested them. The team has grown very much in the last years. This imposes some restrictions to creativity - you need to negotiate with everyone how and what should work. In a small team, you are making something by yourself, and then you put everyone to the notice. Now you need to explain in advance. On the other hand, this makes one think about viability and many useless ideas fall off by themselves. Huge code legacy. The "Tanks" engine exist for almost 10 years. That means that there's a lot of code written by different people at different times and with different styles. Sometimes it's difficult to understand what and why was written. Any changes require serious analysis and rework. But sometimes it's even fun - to rewrite the code better than it was written before you.
