Pros
While I was there I made a lot of great friends. Also made some good money during the glory days of cod.(which are now over)
Cons
This studio got run into the ground years ago by one of its co founders (whose initials are MC) It was a miserable place to work, but despite that, the talent in the studio was undeniable. Particularly at the Director level. Now of that talented crew of extremely seasoned veterans… one remains. Not sure why but he seems to be sticking with the ship till it goes down. All the real talent and leadership have moved on to other Bay Area studios.(SDS and 51st) what’s left now is seemingly people whose feet don’t come close to filling the empty shoes left behind. The contribution this studio makes to COD is small now… in fact nearly all the work we did on Cold War got flushed as the other COD studios took over. Add to that, it’s the most expensive studio that Activision owns. IMO it’s only a matter of time before it gets shut down if for only that reason… Same yourself from this place. Follow the real talent that once was here. All the great creatives went to SDS… all the great engineers went to 51st…. Choose your path wisely if you want to be happy or grow in your career.
