Pros

You'll likely be around top tier professionals. If you're not then you're in the wrong group. The culture is smart, hard working and filled with high performers.

Cons

You have to do your own work. Might sound silly, but this is not a place you can come on and survive on reputation and position alone

Pros

Food (a fair amount of it) Location If you are young, love gaming, and need a job. It's not a bad place to start your career.

Cons

Non-executive employees are young, inexperienced, and not smart workers and worst of all, they don't realize it or desire to change it for the better You have to be immature to enjoy socializing with your coworkers… If you enjoy Beavis and Butthead or act like them, you will fit in great here Tribal, secretive, and dishonest coworkers that systematically gang up and try to destroy each other (Lord of the Flies style). It's cloaked under the perception that they are "high achievers" as opposed to them really just being tribal and willing to put others down to get ahead. This may exist at any employer, but it is to the extreme at Activision. Work/life balance is terrible. High turnover due to this and the culture. If you take your career seriously, do not work at 3100 despite how much money they throw at you. Studio locations may be worth it. Executive life may be worth it. Below that, stay away.
