Pros

Games given out to staff on launch date for free. Occasional raffle for freebies. Cake table at end of the month.

Cons

Unless you're in a certain circle of people don't expect to get an interview for a promotion, even if you've worked hard at the company for years. People are promoted based on favouritism and not experience/skills which leads to some staff lacking in skills to manage a team. Certain seniors abuse their position and treat testers like children, some going so far as to bully staff and get them into trouble. If a person is favourited they can get away with pretty much anything, even if a higher up witnesses them doing something bad. Test floor gets super toxic whenever a new position gets announced and some staff don't hold back on saying what they think of others capabilities.
