Pros

- Great intranet to share knowledge - Some cool IPs

Cons

- Salary is way lower compared to same position in other companies or fields (although this seems to be a general problem to the games industry) - Canada studios get all the praise, investment and focus, while smaller studios get to work on some horrible IPs (aka Imagine and Petz lines) - It seems if you don't know french or doesn't have some french heritage, you will never make to top management positions - Top management insists that employees should make creative stuff when they are between projects, but they forget that most production guys are always in a project - Business and marketing people get bigger paychecks and work normal hours, while programmers, artists, designers and testers (the guys that really put the game together) make some crazy overtime

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.
