      Pros

      Some really great games although getting much to into re-hashing old titles over and over again. Opportunity to work with good people, but more and more bad people joining since the merger. Losing all creativity, passion, and understanding of gaming.

      Cons

      No work-life balance. Management has no care or respect for employees. Mindset is to push boxes out the door with no care, regard, or knowledge of what is even being sold at times. More overhead since the merger. The company is getting fat and the management are arrogant.

      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.
