Pros

Fun to make video games, can do some cool things if you're on the right licenses, most of the people are cool and good to work with.

Cons

70-80 hours/week consistently, no budgets, it's not about quality but rather how quickly and cheaply you can get something done.

Pros

There are GREAT people at Activision. The end of year bonus can be nice. There are occasional perks and sometimes they are good.

Cons

Very long hours, Activision will work you like crazy. This is mainly due to the fact they are understaffed. Upper management is very poor at making decisions. A lot of things are done last minute and the decision makes itself (usually at a cost of quality of life or the game). There is also a lot of committee decision making.
