Pros

Good salary and decent bonus

Cons

Activision is run by two types of employees: "Two years and out" developers – They execute Jira tasks like a prototype jam, hacking away without concern for long-term stability. Their philosophy? "There’s a bug? Why fix it when you can just tweak every reported issue? You won’t be around for the next Call of Duty anyway." "20-year Activision veterans" – Experts at masking problems rather than solving them. Their approach? "Players complain the game is 180GB? Just hide the real download size—next COD is 250GB!" Lessons from your survived colleagues: - Avoid the latest – You'll fight to make it run, nobody will care about "your problem" - Never modify existing code – Duplicate, tweak, and leave the original untouched. - Stay on middle management’s good side – They may not understand the tech, but they control hiring and firing.
