Pros

TC and benefits are good. Not tech-good, but good. 20 days PTO.

Cons

You already know the company culture is going to be off with this one. The studios are tribes. Innovation is non existent and engineering practices are trending better but the old guard certainly isn't helping.

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.
