Demoralizing Career Path with Minimal Growth Opportunities
Pros
You work in the video game industry. Cool.
Cons
Activision promotes via favoritism and not on employee value/merits. If you have a "good" manager, you'll skyrocket to the top, regardless of the value you bring to the team. Don't? Well, be prepared to be used and later discarded. Culture is an absolute disaster here. Don't believe anything you read or hear about them turning this sinking ship around. Again, if you're one of those few at the top, you're loving life, getting $. If not, you're just a disposable cog in the machine. Also, their solve for fixing the culture? Cram a bunch of "mandatory" canned HR training videos/exams down your throat. Said another way, checking the box for the regulatory bodies watching. The Board is corrupt, Bobby is corrupt, the entire Company is corrupt.
