Pros

Great place for people who are self-motivated and not afraid to offer their opinion. Fun and engaging working environment with decent benefits.

Cons

No decision making abilities until you are at a Director level or above. Work/life balance can be difficult, not a place I would recommend for anyone who wants to be home by 6 to have dinner with the family every night. Very difficult to get promoted, and HR department will actively work against you (surprisingly have a lot more say over promotions than your direct manager).

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.
