      Pros

      Get to work on cool games

      Company is managed and driven by finance team which is targeting revenue that is always short term. There is not much innovation here. No new games developed

      Thanks for taking the time to share your candid feedback. At Activision Blizzard, we are proud of our ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver the best and most engaging gaming experiences. Amid the unprecedented disruption of the pandemic, our extraordinary employees demonstrated our ability to innovate quickly for our players, based on their needs and what they ask from us. Thus far in 2021, that has included the release of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, the Diablo II: Resurrected tech alpha, and the blockbuster launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Season 3, and we have a lot more in store as we expand our ecosystems to allow for more cross play and innovation. As we continue our mission of connecting the world through our games, we will continue to deliver shared moments of joy for our players and fans around the world. Again, we value your feedback, so if there's anything more you'd like to share, please reach out to your manager or HR representative.

      A good company to work for

      Principal software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They care about their employees, and give lots of benefits that other companies don't. e.g. paying for parking, free games and swag, company events. They make big popular games, so your work will be seen by a large audience.

      Cons

      As a large organization it can be difficult to make changes, and communication between studios could be better. This is true for any large organization that is geographically divided, so it is difficult to fault them too much for that.
