Pros

They shower you with games and other swag everytime a new game is released. Celebrations and parties regularly. Lots of seminars and training to learn new skills. People are generally very open to helping out.

Cons

When new leadership arrives. Look out. Politics abound. Look out. Your head might be on the chopping block. Also they focus on profits at the sake of quality.

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.
