Pros

This only pertains to my position and not necessarily for other positions in the company ... - Flexible hours (can come in when i want and leave when i want) - Can work from home if needed - Free swag, food, games on occassion - Discount at company game store (2 free games a year, $15 console games, $5/$10 PC games) - Awesome variety of food trucks (10 daily) available - Great people to work with - Work environment is great and casual - Manager is awesome and cares about his team - Play on my PS4/Xbox One at my desk when i have free time

Cons

If anything I guess it's just the politics of the business of this company where it feels like it cares more about making money quickly instead of appealing more to it's fans when it comes to listening to what they want to see in games. Studios seem to be more in charge of creativity in their games but Activision manages more on the giving the deadline and can rush development even if a game doesn't feel complete. But this model has been working successfully for many years which is why change probably won't happy any time soon.

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.
