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

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.
