Ambitious and rushed don't make the best game possible.

Santa Monica, CA

Current Employee – been working at Activision Publishing

ProsWorking at Activision is great because we're the top publishing company of the game industry. The workplace is great, and the development team I'm in is very united. It's fun to make video games. The support and work perks are pretty good.

ConsIts a little frustrating the poor work and life balance. I love making video games. I take pride in my work. I want to deliver a really good fun quality polished game, but certain conditions don't allow this. Rushing and crunching are bad. My heath suffers from it. Which makes me feel under-appreciated and disposable.

Advice to Senior ManagementIf you want 100% you must give 700% back. 200% salary, 200% vacation, and 3 years development cycles. That would make me really happy.
