Pros

Wargaming is the kind of place that has both dedicated and hard working people with those same people being supportive and collaborative. Your ideas are very rarely (if ever) ignored and you are given the power to further your career path here if you choose to do so. It is an environment that is both fun and rewarding to work in which can be rare to find.

Cons

Never seems to be enough La Croix. However this may be a personal problem.

Pros

If you work hard consistently, there's room to grow in the Chicago office. Other WG offices may hand out promotions more often, but they're not always deserved. Here, the quality of work you output really counts. Going "above and beyond" is noticed also! WG is global and has offices everywhere. Transfers and cross-office promotions happen every now and then so the career opportunities are existing and possible in some cases. The benefits are definitely good (match on 401k etc.). The office is super conveniently located as well, near public trans. There's employment stability here as well, which is not always the case in this industry. QA are full-time, non-contract employees with full benefits. None of this "6 months contract then we throw you out for a week and hire you back so we don't have to give you benefits" stuff here.

Cons

This is not a con per say, more of a warning - but this isn't the place for you if you don't plan on pulling your weight. This is not a place where you can watch Youtube for hours, put in minimal effort, and go home for very long. Good work ethics required.

Pros

- Global development environment: the Sydney office works internationally with all the other development studios within WG. Opportunity for travel to interesting places. Opportunity for improving soft skills is especially useful. - Interesting/challenging technical work and problems to solve. - One of very few game (technology) development companies in Australia. Work we do impacts many millions of players around the world. - Sydney office stays pretty cutting edge in terms of ideas, technology, hardware, processes, and tools. - Lots of smart and experienced collegues to learn from, within Sydney and other studios. - Management in Sydney tends to put a lot of effort into retaining and supporting staff as much as possible (e.g. with work/life balance issues).

Cons

- While working in an international company is exciting, there are logistical challenges (especially in Sydney being so far away from the rest of the world), e.g. sometimes requiring spending odd hours communicating. There can also be challenges/misunderstandings due to language and cultural barriers. - The company as a whole can somtimes feel slow to react to industry changes, though this is improving. - Teething problems still left from period of very rapid growth as a company as a whole.
