Pros

- Great Coworkers - Opportunity to move up in the company - Work hands on in the video game industry for some good experience

Cons

- Terrible Communication, zero to no transparency - Hypocrisy, They talk a lot about appreciating workers, but then do everything they can to make their lives harder - Management does not care about workers under them (Lots of brown nosing) - Can be moved from project to project with little to no heads up - Told we have a say in things, but when giving legit critics and advice nothings is ever actually done with it or about it

Pros

Some great employees and managers. 401k match and benefits are pretty decent for full-time employees. No longer a forced overtime culture. Great way to gain industry experience to take to another company that values your work.

Cons

Company management are the worst people imaginable. Upper leadership has publicly said they don't value QA positions and think people should not make a career of it. Outdated and unreasonable performance metrics. Management generally unable to manage low performance so they hold the entire team to ridiculous standards. Has engaged in multiple union busting tactics. Treats low-level employees very poorly. Treats QA in general very poorly. Hard to get promoted internally as openings usually go to people already picked by management and you could have an amazing interview and it wont matter. Pay is below what it should be and is lower than even the studios owned by Activision.
