Pros

I worked out of the LA office for 2 1/2 years. -At GameScribes you get to work on a lot of really cool games — even games that aren't out yet (so that's kind of fun) — and work with your fellow gamers! -The team is tight-knit, but super welcoming and friendly. -It's a pretty relaxed working environment (good West Coast hours), but be prepared to work hard -Management is very approachable and transparent -Quiet office in a safe neighborhood between Santa Monica and Brentwood, some good food options around and lots of other conveniences (hospital, bank, CVS, etc.) -Pay is decent especially for industry first-timers or recent graduates. -You'll learn a lot every day!

Cons

-The commute is not for everyone (I drove between 40 mins-1 1/2 hours each way) -No onsite parking, but that's pretty typical for the Santa Monica area -You're not DEVELOPING games, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you

Pros

The greatest thing about GTL is that the managers treat you like a person and care about you, how you're doing, etc. You're also encouraged to learn and participate in special projects and areas that may be outside of your core skills in order to become more well-rounded. CEO, though very busy, is very accessible and will take the time to meet you, no matter who you are.

Cons

Not many. Starting pay is low, but they do a lot of bonuses and such based on performance. Open office environment can sometimes be distracting, but still much more pleasant to work in most days.
