Pros
If you're young and get your foot in the door here, the connections you make here can be amazing and that's because you'll inevitably leave the company or be let go either during a reduction in force or reorgs that are still happening but aren't on Kotaku's radar. The campus is great since there's a gym, Starbucks, library, statues and since it's a decent size campus it feels a bit corporate. There's a lot benefit perks too. Having Blizzard on your resume will speak volumes to other employers because they hold Blizzard in such high esteem. That's because they don't see or understand what's going on behind the curtain. The Blizzard CEO is great, he's a home grown employee that really understands what Blizzard is and should be. He just got dealt a bad hand with when he came into his leadership position. I know he's fighting hard to give Blizzard a fighting chance to rise back from the ashes, it's just not going to happen for many many years. Activision is here to stay and they're getting their claws in deep over here. I'd recommend holding off applying here for 1-2 years, especially with the whole COVID situation. Let the company really let the dust settle and understand what kind of employees they really need.
Cons
It's no secret that Blizzard plays on your passion and undercompensates as a result ...unless your name is Bobby and make 30 Million a year. It's not the same, it's not the dream company to work for any more and I was sad to find that out. The culture has changed and they have been wavering from their well-known core values. Activision is calling the shots now and unfortunately there's a lot of tension between Activision and Blizzard employees. There's this sort of entitlement that Activision employees have, and Blizzard employees pick up on it. There's been new hires brought on as Activision Blizzard employees, kind of like a hybrid but still primarily focused on Activision goals. No longer the Blizzard you dream of working at and held on a pedestal for all of these years.
