Pros

- Independent studio model allows development studios to manage themselves and maintain their own branding and company culture. - Lots of free games from the Activision/Blizzard back catalog. - Not as evil as people make them out to be.

Cons

- Terrible pay rises. Before our studio was acquired, pay rises were excellent. As soon as Activision bought the studio pay rises dropped dramatically. - Studio closures are very common. - Publisher is very good at exploiting existing IP but terrible at developing new IP. - Creatively uninspiring projects.

Busy, challenging, and a bit crazy

Pros

Entreprenaurial work environment and the chance to make your mark. Great offices, perks, and work life balance. It's nice to work with really smart people.

Cons

Always the possibility of being sold but if you're a hard worker it seems to be easy to get a job elsewhere because of the company reputation. HR is not the best anymore because of a regime change.
