Pros

Lots of great people to work with. I have met some very great friends.

Cons

No real way to get ahead unless you want to be the cool guy and impress your seniors somehow. "Good ol' boys" attitude.

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.
