Compare Blizzard Entertainment vs San Diego Studio

Pros

Blizzard gives you work-life balance, usually you don't need to work overtime except for crunch time.

Cons

Slow pace, takes long time to catch up with industry trend.

Pros

Great Co-Workers. Managers planned well, making life for the artists easier. Good Pay. Fun/Laid back environment. Pretty good work/life balance for a game company. Get to work on a lot of... cool/different projects.

Cons

Little to no job security. High turn over rate. No benefits unless you're hired full time. Most people(including managers and higher ups) can work here for years and still not be hired full time. ... Majority of workers are hired as "contractors" but are treated as employees without the perks.
