Pros

The people that work there are passionate and kind to others. The culture is very welcoming and invite to speak up when things are going wrong. The people work as a cohesive team and always try to help each other.

Cons

The company hires vendors/companies (ex Blizzard employees) to do the job of the full time employees. In two years Blizzard has fired 900 people and in their majority are People of Color and people with different nationalities. They closed several offices worldwide including France(Versailles), Columbus (Ohio), LACS (Los Angeles) when they made one billion dollars extra in profit (2020). When new positions are open, they are offered to the friends of management. There is a lot discrimination towards POC's and people from the LGTBQ+.
