Pros

Create friends and build great networks. Free drinks-non alcohol.

Cons

Level of respect is low. Everyone fights for higher position and not by perfomance. It's all base on the people you know to advance. The fear of losing job because it's a contract job.

Pros

You're working at the leading game publisher in the industry after its merger with Vivendi/Blizzard. There are some very interesting upcoming projects that you can work on. The hours are good, and very flexible, you can come in when you want and leave when you want as long as you get the work done.

Cons

Activision runs a developer studio system so that each studio is fairly independent. This is good and bad, since it retains each studio's culture but allows for differences in quality, both in terms of developed content and the proficiency of managers. Since studios often have their own HR reps, there is sometimes a disconnect and delay in the hiring process.
