Overworked, under appreciated, and lead by incompetence - Anonymous employee Activision Blizzard Employee Review

Pros

Like-minded people, fun events, work on cool projects

Cons

This company will spend thousands towards getting a "Great Places to Work" badge from Fortune Magazine but won't life a finger to making it a better place to work. They will move mountains to make sure they look good externally but won't even write an email to stand up for employees. Working in Marketing Creative was the most dehumanizing experience of my career. Half of the management in the department got their position by being in the right place at the right time. The other half was hired in, not based on their creative ability, but on how well they talk. The constant, high level of turnover - even after pay increases - should be eye opening but the remaining employees just get worked harder to make the management look good. Bringing up an alternative opinion to managers/leads will not be met with open ears, but rather will be punished for trying to improve the status quo.

Pros

Passionate coworkers, great for building your portfolio, a lot of fun events at Blizzard HQ.

Cons

Layoffs every six months or so. Everybody is always waiting for the ball to drop. I’ve seen people get let go right after being hired, and others get let go after decades.
