Pros

The culture is to die for. You get to bring your dog to work! The benefits and bonuses are a definite plus It's like a dysfunctional family, which is cool They gave me a very nice severance package when they laid me off?

Cons

The middle man really needs to be cut out of this place. What do the producers even do? The people who have been here for 15+ years get crazy bonuses (they may have changed this after I left, I have no idea) and will basically just never be let go even if they're not the best at their job It's so obvious this place is suffering from small company syndrome and are still trying to cling onto that mentality, but it just doesn't work You've got to know someone to get a job that is worthwhile. It's all about who you know, not how great your work is. They expect Blizzard to be your life. During big projects I had 30 hour workdays and then 2 hours of sleep and back to another 30 hour workday. This happened constantly when there was a deadline to meet.

Pros

From the very top, Blizzard is committed to its employees. They have great perks and great policies.

Cons

The middle management is completely broken. There are no decision makers, no delegators, and no trust. Endless chains of meetings are the normal, and nobody who is allowed to make a decision has any motivation to do anything.
