Pros

Get to work with some amazing, fun and talented production people. Life / work balance is generally respected - not a lot of overtime / crunches required.

Cons

The only opportunity to work on AAA franchises is when outsourced from Montreal - no strong internal IP. Lack of a strong studio identity, weak leadership and unqualified leads / management directing people more talented and experienced than themselves. There is no stimulating creative culture for the artists - very little encouragement or opportunity to advance within the company unless you are good at internal politics. Little or no training for artists.

Pros

It's a French company so a lot of the mentality is French - lots of time off, free food, and a guaranteed paycheck as long as you don't mess up egregiously. Also, you get to play games at work (duh), the office is in a great location near ATT Park, you definitely get the wow factor when you bring people through the building. It seems like a fun place to work and most of the time it is.

Cons

Management puts you in a prescribed role and keeps you there. Some of the employees are nice and cool but a lot of them fall into the gamer geek category - no social skills, bad skin, you know the type. Pay is much less than at other companies, because they figure you really want to work in video games you are willing to take a pay cut.
