      Pros

      Extraordinary employee focus culture with real core values Exec puts their money where their mouth is Work there is cool and fun Everything done at Blizz is about quality Fostered employee loyalty

      Cons

      Salaries could be better but compensated by generous fair bonus system Career growth can feel slow or invisible "VIP club" that sometimes feel more like a kingdom than a meritocracy - Some areas of the company feel like fortresses, impenetrable unless you are known and appreciated by the right masters

      Fun, but dissapointing

      Pros

      *Immense Job satisfaction *Prestige *Perks, such as on-campus dining, exercise facilities, volleyball, basketball, movie theater, library, arcade rooms, etc etc

      Cons

      *Lazy or Inept co-workers (speaking only of quality assurance) *Managers that manage people based on 2nd-hand assumptions about an individual instead of actual experience with an individual. (Once again referring to quality assurance) *Leads that abuse their position to cut corners, but then penalize individuals who don't cut corners because they 'take too long', even if they still finish within the assigned, allotted work-time. (quality assurance) *Mandatory overtime is illegal, but employees were told they should volunteer for OT 'if they value their job'. Was working ~80 hours a week when SC 2 GoldMaster disc was shipped. *One of the lowest paying studios in the industry
