Pros

Policies and procedures are set and make a lot of sense. Almost all departments are open to helping one another understand exactly what it is they do and how they need things done. In Production, there are a lot of good people in Associate Producer and Production Coordinator (Production Assistant at other companies) roles who work hard and know what they're doing. Work / Life balance is encouraged by most of upper management and in some cases Activision will work with you if you have special needs. Most teams are flexible with what hours their employees work, so earlier or later time schedules are often times approved.

Cons

Policies and procedures are often not followed. The good people are bled dry from chasing the carrot that gets dangled in front of them.

Pros

- Decent benefits - Loved some of the people and the environment had the potential to be chill - Ok Bonuses (mid)

Cons

- Some management decisions can be incompetent and baseless - Can be easily burned-out; no work-life balance - Salaries are below average and below cost of living needs. Don't expect much of a raise - Some people were insufferable, but not all - ALWAYS changing and fast paced, which results in really bad decisions being implemented, dropping the quality of the job - Removed WFH
