Pros

You get the chance to work in international team with highly experienced people. You have access to all the new technology both hardware and software. Most of the people are pleasant to talk to and you can build a relationship with them after working hours.If you work hard and you are involved in what you are doing you have lots of chance in getting promoted.

Cons

The HR department is a mess most of the time, you have to insist every time you want something to be done on time. The salaries are sometimes lower than for other companies in the same industry. Excessive overtime is done from time to time (especially near releases) mostly due to bad management or because of game design that changes randomly.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
