Pros
- "great people you work with at the lower levels but diminishes as you go up the ranks" (in 151 reviews)
Cons
- "Low pay across the board except for the rare few dozen who are either execs or particularly special/tenured devs." (in 86 reviews)
- "Low compensation in an exceptionally high cost of living area and ever rising demands" (in 25 reviews)
- "Upper management is actually brilliant and the best in the business... but those guys kind of walk around campus with their heads in the cloud just waiting to cash in on their golden parachutes, and they act like part of some secret society old boy's club, full of inside jokes and stories that nobody else can ever relate to."

Pros
-The people that work here love this place and are truly passionate about what they do. -Great work-life balance. -There have been a lot of new people hired over the last 2 years and they seem very focused on making Blizzard inclusive and a great place to work again. -Good work benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401k matching, etc. -Recently relaunched BlizzU, a program that provides plenty of opportunities to learn and grow your career. -The Irvine campus is one of the coolest offices I've ever seen. -It seems like leadership tries to be as transparent as possible, even if it leads to mixed or negative results.
Cons
-Your annual bonus is more dependent on how the company is doing, not necessarily reflective of how well you've done your job. -No longer a full-time remote company for most, they are trying to get everyone back in the office for a hybrid work schedule. -Not the most competitive in the industry in terms of base pay.
