Pros

-Work on top level brands and IP - Good to have on your resume, opens doors both in and outside of gaming - Senior to Mid Level employees genuinely do care about each other, and do what they can to create a positive environment for their teammates and co-workers.

Cons

- Upper Management lacks passion for gaming, or innovation in the industry. - Little to no transparency for mid-level and lower workers. - The team you’re a part of will directly influence your level of work and upper management exposure. - Little mobility to move within the company and try out different roles - Due to the frantic speed, no time to learn skills and all about putting out fires and getting things done by deadlines, no matter the cost.

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.
