Pros

Exciting industry and products; name recognition of highly profitable COD game franchises; Smart and engaged colleagues; Culture of excellence; Very cool events or marketing activations

Cons

Highly disordered org structure; siloed planning and execution; Toxicity of COD game brand and fan base; Lacking basic infrastructure of most elite corporate employers (e.g. limited L&D offerings, limited volunteer or internal mentor opps); Bloated middle management layer, inhibiting promotion of experienced talent; Awkwardness of being within the same operating company as Blizzard and King, despite wildly different cultures, brands and games; Lacks essential corporate steer by way of company values and vision

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.
