Dex Badgett, Social Community Manager for Call of Duty shares his loadouts. 🤳 It's essential to have a pulse on what's happening on social media for work, so my phone is handy for that, especially when I'm away from my desk 🏋️ I love getting exercise in, whether it's an intense workout, to just stretching and getting some steps in, it helps clear my mind 🎶 Whether I'm rocking out or listening to some lo-fi, music helps get me focus and get through the day 🎮 I'm mostly a console gamer, especially when it comes to Call of Duty so my controller is my input of choice At Activision, I love being at the forefront of the CoD franchise and getting to interact with the gaming community across various social media platforms!

Senior Technical Recruiter

I wonder how the low experienced individuals with very limited skillset land positions as tech recruiters at Blizzard, Activision, Sony, etc! ... While I have extensive technical HEAD HUNTING expertise and been applying at thier doors for YEARS! And do not even get a CALL!

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Amazing people, awesome culture, solid vision. I get to pursue my career in the video game industry at one of the biggest names in gaming, am provided opportunities for growth, am treated fairly and respectfully, and get to work with some of the best talent in the world. I can honestly say I look forward to going to work for once in my life - a place where I can use my skills to their utmost, enjoy the enthusiasm of my peers, and know that I am contributing to some of the best video games ever made.

    Cons

    Like seeing a behind-the-scenes documentary about a movie, being on the inside of a video game production takes some of the mystery and magic away. It's harder to enjoy video games as a pastime when you surround yourself with them at work all day.

      Multi step process that I chose not to continue with due to receiving another job offer in the midst of this interview process. They want you to do a panel interview with sets of 2 people at a time and interview with different areas of the company.
