Pros

This is a very high profile company to work for.

Cons

The company is too focused on quantity, not quality. It is constantly trying to push sequels out the door every year without much thoughts to innovation.

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.
