Pros

If you value the gaming industry then Activision is the biggest player on the block. Work with sharp individuals.

Cons

Highly political. Lack of leadership from the top down. No sense of comraderie since most employees are looking out for themselves. The atmosphere really is a kill or be killed mentality. When you speak to another employee who has been there for at least a year, the common feedback is that they need to get out of there.

Pros

Passionate coworkers, great for building your portfolio, a lot of fun events at Blizzard HQ.

Cons

Layoffs every six months or so. Everybody is always waiting for the ball to drop. I’ve seen people get let go right after being hired, and others get let go after decades.
