Pros

While working at Activision I found them to be generally well rounded, some good benefits such as the pension scheme, flexi-hours, passionate staff, and top talent to learn from. Great start to a career, opening many doors. Activision and their work is world-renowned, and since working there many opportunities have presentment themselves that otherwise may not have been a case of 'walking through the door'

Cons

Long hour had by myself and colleagues at times, however I've heard of much worse. Note, however, these long hours we not compensated through bonuses like other studios.

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.
