Pros

On site amenities: basketball, volleyball, cafeteria, gym. Diversity inclusion programs Learning programs. Clubs, meetup groups. Overall positive culture. Donates to world disasters and participates in programs such as Make a Wish foundation. Yearly holiday parties, renting out entire theme parks for an evening. Biyearly profit sharing. Vested stocks. Blizzard employees also get discounts on gear and all Activision Blizzard games. Free balance and game codes to redeem. Ride share programs and raffles. Blizzard fans are everywhere and extremely kind.

Cons

Culture different per game team. Experience at Blizzard may vary as a result. Different teams have led to silos in shared code cross communication. Each team constantly reinventing the wheel. It is better to leave Blizzard and get rehired for a pay increase than stay and receive a pay increase through reviews. When projects were cancelled, the people were allotted time to find new teams, that practice has since changed. Blizzard has only become slower at making games over time which affects bonuses, profit sharing. Little accountability for executive decisions that are passed down to its employees instead. Some teams drastically need more people and has led to burnout and turnover.
