Pros

Playing videogames That's it.. If anyone thinks of joining. Think it through really well. You won't be able to save up anything with the salary

Cons

Useless pay. Bad lead. Really bad lead. Bad training. You get the feeling that everyone is amateurs it is ridiculous. Once you are hired, no one gives the slightest thing about you. Long working hours, work at night with no extra pay. Work on weekends is not optional and very likely you will work 6 days a week without getting asked. Would not recommend Activision for my worst enemy I have never felt that used. No benefits whatsoever. Bad pay and no lunch or supper even on late nights No respect.

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.
