      Pros

      Free games, a lot of amenities on campus, being involved with one of the most beloved game developers in the world.

      Cons

      This is not indicative of any game dev teams, more has to do with the STEM field. I really wanted to like working at Blizzard, but within a few month of me joining my position had changed and neither the 1st or 2nd team really gave me a good onboarding to have a base understanding of how they expect work to be executed on. Instead of management giving me guidance, which I asked for several times, they steered my projects out from under me which really left me no choice but to leave the company out of pure frustration. "Play nice; Play fair" was never in consideration for the teams I was on.

      Pros

      Incredible company and culture. Experience varies on which department you work in.

      Cons

      Politics is still a problem, old boys run certain departments. QA is a garbage fire.

      Great for young adults, but you'll eventually mature past CS.

      Pros

      Fantastic job for those just getting started in the workplace. GREAT medical benefits, bonuses, and perks. Incredibly fun environment where performance is constantly recognized and awarded for. Excellent new hire and continuing training. Core values are actually carried through the workday. They're not just lip service!

      Cons

      Work environment HIGHLY depends on which managers you're working with. Not much control over what shift you'll be assigned to in frequent shift bids. If you're a woman, expect to work a little harder to have your voice heard. At the end of the day, customer service is a call center. It's not intended to sustain someone as a lifelong career unless you hit management or transition into another department. Not much work-life balance for parents - unexpected absences or school calls count as an attendance hit, no employee benefits to help with childcare expenses.
