Pros

LucasArts is in a beautiful location. The people you work with are great, and dedicated. Star Wars is the best property on the market with massive opportunities to make great games. The food is good at the Presidio and if you like Star Wars stuff, it's everywhere. The company is focused!

Cons

LucasArts is not really a game company and they're unrealistic about what it takes to be successful. If you want to work on something that's not Star Wars, there aren't many choices.
