Pros

great compensation, benefits, bonuses, and good travel policies.

Cons

Poor work life balance, uninspiring upper and mid management, no clear roadmap for the next 3 years, needs to reinvent itself.

Pros

Love to work within gaming, office is nice, and analytics function is strong. Company events are a plus, as are perks for games and Microsoft items.

Cons

Annual layoffs, can usually expect 1,000 or more people let go across XGS with a hundred or so from Activision. Work-life balance could be better, and compensation is squarely median or a bit lower for the industry.
