Pros

They provide you everything you need to make great games. Worked with great people. Your product will reach millions and millions of gamers.

Cons

Crunch, Crunch, Crunch. When it's time to ship, you'll have limited time with loved ones. Making games is a business. Some of the magic of making games is lost.

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.
