Pros
For the Montreal studio:
- Great perks: kindergarten, free gym with kinesiologists available to give classes and build tailored programs, bonuses based on game profitability or studio profitability, medical clinic on site, etc.
- Opportunity to work on large projects (AAA games), smaller ones, or even in satellite groups such as the Technology Group, IT, etc.
- Large company so there is a lot of opportunity for moving around in the company, especially at a large studio like the one in Montreal.
Cons
- Triple AAA project teams tend to get very large, especially towards the end, which slows many things down and may contribute to feeling like a tiny cog in a huge machine.
- People working on games often have to work unpaid overtime (supper is provided).
