Pros

chill work, great entry for getting into video games

Cons

High school like atmosphere, the upper leadership saids they care then they just differ you to a "specialist" where that leads no where. Tons of gossip and politics, be smart and take advantage of all there paid learning opportunity's. Find forward momentum in your career as soon as possible

Pros

Love to work within gaming, office is nice, and analytics function is strong. Company events are a plus, as are perks for games and Microsoft items.

Cons

Annual layoffs, can usually expect 1,000 or more people let go across XGS with a hundred or so from Activision. Work-life balance could be better, and compensation is squarely median or a bit lower for the industry.
