Pros

Great location and good name in the industry.

Cons

Low salary and mediocre benefits compared to some of the gaming /tech companies in LA. There are definitely some brilliant and visionary executives in the company but they are out-of-reach most of the time. Managers are mediocre and uninspiring and not good at managing and developing employees.

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.
