Pros

Great benefits (401K with match and immediate vesting, decent vacation time, health savings account, etc.) and opportunities for advancement were there if you showed the interest and were willing to stick around long enough. Of course knowing and interacting with the right people is key too. They were also starting a tuition reimbursement program around the time I left but you were locked in for 1-2 years if you used it. Lots of free snacks, drinks and catered food. The holiday parties and company sponsored events were always a blast. Monthly lunch and learns in which you could attend presentations of other people working within the company to learn what they do and how they do it. Good ratio of men and women. Friendly folks for the most part albeit a bit immature at times. Overall decent environment to work in and a great place to get your feet wet in the industry but little room for advancement if you weren't at the right place at the right time.

Cons

A lot of the same old, same old. Company was and it seems still is clinging to one IP. As a result environment started becoming stale with a business as usual type of feel. Management lacked proper training and favoritism ran rampant. QA moved to a separate floor from developers making communication more difficult and fostering an "us" versus "them" mentality. No real training available to elevate QA staff. If you want to truly get better prepare to do that on your own time. Environment can be a bit immature at times which makes taking the job seriously a little difficult.

Pros

There is no 9/3 contract work, hired on part time and full time QA employees only. Easy going work attire, no business suits, and fun work environment. Access to current and new console and pc development tools/kits as well as proprietary software. Free snacks and drinks. Benefits for full time employees and 401k offered,

Cons

Advancement out of QA limited, and low salary. Training of employees and advancement to move into other roles very limited, and can seem stagnate in position. Management has little training and can be frustrating to interact with and lead to motivation and moral issues.

Pros

I am at the Seattle studio of Wargaming (in Redmond), and I can say it is easily one of the best places I have worked in my career in videos games. They genuinely care about their people and about the quality of their project, and they are well-financed by World of Tanks money, which really helps with security.

Cons

None of these are deal-killers: It's a truly global company, much more popular in Russia and the former Soviet Union than in North America, so there are cultural things to get used to if you're American. Also, it's a fairly young company that got successful really quickly, and there have been some growing pains. I do think they are aware of most of those, and are handling them we well as anyone could.
