Pros

Fun employee events and free game time. Great if you’re a dude passionate about gaming.

Cons

Activision is an extremely siloed organization and the bonus system makes collaboration a non-starter (unless goals are aligned). If you aren’t a man, expect to be asked about your “passion for gaming” even after you are hired. They give lip service to diversity, but without cleaning house of the misogynists in leadership, nothing will ever change. Activision is a publisher in a time when indie studios can publish, distribute and support a game just fine without all the bloat of a traditional publisher. But, Activision isn’t making changes to make sure they survive, except yearly mass layoffs which kills morale. Also, be prepared to make way less than you are worth, be marginalized if you have ideas or come from a more forward-thinking company. It’s no wonder the C-suite is dropping like flies. No one wants to do anything different or move into the future—much less the present. They’re almost a year without a new CEO. That can’t be a good sign.
