      Pros

      - Great people. Most will bend over backwards to help keep the boat afloat. - Great perks. The kitchen is always stocked with snacks and the parties are lavish. - Benefits and 401k are top notch.

      Cons

      - Little or no work/life balance unless you're a director or above. - Terrible "ends justifies the means" culture. - Virtually no paid leave for maternity. - Woman treated as second class citizens. - Only one person is trained to handle a specific job making it impossible to take vacation or sick days.

      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.
