Pros

Well organized division of labor, with mature HR Causal atmosphere laid back work ethic during down periods especially between releases Fun people, over all smart, dedicated and creative Every manager gets an Xbox or playstation installed in their office

Cons

Key people don't take job seriously, literally play games all day.. Even if not their job Very political for such a laid back environment Petty squabbles never handled by flip-flop wearing management While foot soldiers are very dedicated, upper management is not in touch with realities often within own teams

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.
