Pros

The pay and benefits are decent compared to market. There are lot of fun parties. It's not the best work environment for women and some minority groups.

Cons

The building was pretty awful. Activision frequently required long hours with little notice. There is a high dependence on contractors who have little chance for full-time employment. There are layoffs after the annual earnings report.

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.
