Pros

Industry leader with massive following of users and nearly unlimited resources

Cons

Poor leadership - little to no communication Poor compensation - lopsided and most top-heavy in the industry Tons of corporate red-tape and no smooth processes between entities (Activision and Blizzard operate separately but want to work together)
