Activision Reviews

Pros
Some really great games although getting much to into re-hashing old titles over and over again. Opportunity to work with good people, but more and more bad people joining since the merger. Losing all creativity, passion, and understanding of gaming.
Cons
No work-life balance. Management has no care or respect for employees. Mindset is to push boxes out the door with no care, regard, or knowledge of what is even being sold at times. More overhead since the merger. The company is getting fat and the management are arrogant.
Advice to Senior Management
Humility and passion - it's what made you number one. You have forgotten that and lost most of the talent that got you to the number one position.
