Pros

Good to get experience, the team is the big + of this job.

Cons

The pay is not great, you can work week ends for months and sometimes stay until really late. No long-term contract and almost no hope of growing inside the company.

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.
