      A very volatile company with constant massive lay offs

      Pros

      The people that work there are passionate and kind to others. The culture is very welcoming and invite to speak up when things are going wrong. The people work as a cohesive team and always try to help each other.

      Cons

      The company hires vendors/companies (ex Blizzard employees) to do the job of the full time employees. In two years Blizzard has fired 900 people and in their majority are People of Color and people with different nationalities. They closed several offices worldwide including France(Versailles), Columbus (Ohio), LACS (Los Angeles) when they made one billion dollars extra in profit (2020). When new positions are open, they are offered to the friends of management. There is a lot discrimination towards POC's and people from the LGTBQ+.

      Ok company

      Software engineer

      Pros

      A lot of talent to work with. Strong engineer team, not so strong art(certain game doesn't care about art as much as programming). Leadership(most, depends on your team still) is grown up enough to allow you achieve some degree of work life balance. Male friendly company and if you happen to have some traits that fit into their culture, you can become one of the boys.

      Cons

      Not a female friendly environment.
