Pros

- You work in games on one of the biggest games in the world - The people are generally nice

Cons

- Executive leadership is very disconnected from how things are going; initiatives must be driven from the bottom up - Recently seen a pretty drastic drop in talent as many people have left for better pay and opportunities - Pay isn't super competitive; review process is a joke; career progression is foggy at best

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.
