Not what it used to be - Anonymous employee Activision Employee Review

The company is far from what it used to be. It used to be a company that emphasized having fun and keeping employees engaged. Now, it's become a revolving door of people who used to be passionate about the company and wanting to leave for something better. Management constantly lays-off individuals every year (or people leave), and instead of hiring someone to back-fill the position, they spread the work around to the people that are left on the team and expect them to do the work with the same amount of pay. This is a constant problem seen in every department. This year's compensation was the worst anyone at the company has ever seen. We have seen record profits (unfortunately due to COVID), but have seen record low raises. The company seems to care more about profits instead of retaining talent.
