Pros

I've been fortunate to grow my career over my time with Activision, where the people you get to work with have truly been the highlight. They're some of the most supportive and passionate I've seen, and getting to learn and grow my own skills through working with them, all while being able to work on and being empowered to make an impact on the single largest gaming franchise in the world... it's hard to imagine wanting to work anywhere else.

Cons

Not a con per se, but it can also be a highly demanding environment where you're constantly challenged to level up.

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.
