Pros

Good people to work alongside, and great franchises of which to contribute. But, not enough of a willingness to invest in smaller studios.

Cons

Work-life balance is generally heavy. And, there's a real sense of dread whenever the publisher visits a studio.

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.
