      Pros

      We make games. We play games.

      Cons

      Titles are meaningless, multiple managers, directors, and VPs have no one reporting to them. Tight budgets. The company fails to promote it's own and fails to move it's best contractors to full time.

      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.
