Pros

An amazingly talented and friendly group of professional game developers make for a great game making experience.

Cons

Since being Activision owned, unless you've been with the company for 5+ years, don't plan on staying around much longer after your project is done with. Regardless of if you're full-time or contract. If you're contract, be sure to be looking for another job when the end of your contract draws near.

Pros

Management listens and makes changes based on feedback.

Cons

Being a partner studio can make it difficult to get top-tier work and pay. You’ll have more freedom and pay at the main studios but worse work life balance and location.
