Activision Blizzard Employee Reviews about "great people"

Pros

People here are great and worth staying and working here

Cons

Not much variety in terms of titles to work on

Pros

- Fun atmosphere (especially if you're a gamer) - Casual dress - Free soda and coffee...and other snacks depending on the day as mentioned by others - Many great people who are willing to answer questions and help where possible - You can play games at your desk - Office is closed between Christmas and New Years

Cons

- Long hours needed to move projects along because of lack of resources - they are understaffed! - Start-up feel in terms of lack of defined processes (which can be a positive, but not something I expected to this extent in a company as old as this one) - Communication needs to improve both between and within departments - leads to confusion and misinformation - Political environment is very challenging to navigate for project decisions and career growth - Compensation is not great for contractors compared to other companies

Pros

Fast paced environment that was always challenging! Great people to work with!

Cons

Management breakdown in communication, corporate and size made it hard to make an impact.

Pros

- Good organization and manager - Nice Team vibe - Respected people from different backgrounds and provide a great opportunity for interns to explore - Provided a lot of fun intern social events, both in-person and remote

Cons

- Want to hear more career evaluations and feedback, want to hear more advice that help me prepare to enter in DS industry

Pros

Strong corporate culture Great games Great people to work with

Cons

Aggressive policies Lack of sharing the vision

Pros

Great people to work with and a fun environment. Plenty of moments to learn and grow and increase in trust/responsibility from others.

Cons

Comes with a lot of QA jobs but expect some long nights and lots of OT to handle requests and build submission deadlines.

Pros

great people good at their craft

Cons

long hours and sometimes chaos way of working

Pros

It's the people who make ActivisionBlizzard great!

Cons

The building and office conditions are awful - once inside the first floor you may mistake this video game company for an old insurance office.

Pros

People I worked with were great - solid team dynamics and good information sharing across your peers. Exciting, ever-changing category to work in.

Cons

Senior management has too much of their hands in the development at times. I found us debating too much fine detail of the games in our senior management reviews, rather than keeping things at a strategic level.

Pros

People are great to work with depending on your project

Cons

Pay could be better for the crunch time
