Vantaggi
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!
Svantaggi
-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
