Pros

Fast paced, exciting. Good company perks such as events (pre-covid), swag, free games etc. At entry - mid level, there are good development opportunities including being able to move departments/take on projects outside your normal remit to get exposure and experience in areas that interest you.

Cons

Once you get to middle management, the boys club is very apparent. Generally only people from certain backgrounds can secure senior roles. The employee networks are unfortunately lip service to please shareholders - they put all the emphasis on employees (with full time jobs) to drive change rather than enacting it from the top down. While there are a few women in senior positions they are the exception rather than the rule.

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.
