Pros

Coworkers and direct supervisors are fantastic, kind, and hard-working people.

Cons

Upper management has a blatant disregard for the health and safety of their employees. They force changes that the employees have made abundantly clear are not something they approve of and will actively harm the health and well-being of the employees. Leadership's response was basically a canned response of "too bad for you, I don't care, do it anyway or quit." leadership refuses to negotiate in good faith with union organizers and continually demonstrates active union-busting efforts. Call of Duty. Kind of speaks for itself. A dried-up dead milk cow that the company continues to try and squeeze money out of rather than coming up with a halfway decent video game idea.

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.
