      Ambitious and rushed don't make the best game possible.

      Pros

      Working at Activision is great because we're the top publishing company of the game industry. The workplace is great, and the development team I'm in is very united. It's fun to make video games. The support and work perks are pretty good.

      Cons

      Its a little frustrating the poor work and life balance. I love making video games. I take pride in my work. I want to deliver a really good fun quality polished game, but certain conditions don't allow this. Rushing and crunching are bad. My heath suffers from it. Which makes me feel under-appreciated and disposable.

      Pros

      Working online from home was very nice for the time.

      Cons

      Everything bad that could happen, happened, on a daily basis. You will be worked to the bone and be handed pity dollars. Your bosses will try to foster a "family" environment to abuse your trust and get more work for less pay out of you.

      Pros

      - Great People - Fun work environment - Work on awesome games - Looks great on resume/portfolio

      Cons

      - Pay is not competitive - You may do the job of 2-3 people - Company uses an agency called Volt in order to avoid giving you things like benefits, bonus, vacation time, etc. Took me several years to go from hired contractor to full time employee, even though I was doing the same work full time employees were doing. - If you're not on the Call of Duty team your career opportunities will be incredibly limited.
