Pros

Awesome time to be in gaming. Working on big titles is fun and carries some prestige. Really great people to work with and a lot of fun.

Cons

Bad news headlines and lack of clear upward mobility is frustrating. Pay is not competitive.

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.
