Pros

The people are great. If you have a good manager, you can get some solid promotions and raises. Lots of fun on-campus events.

Cons

Pretty much standard gaming industry downsides: Multiple big layoffs each year, salaries aren’t great because they know they can get away with underpaying people who are passionate about their games, certain teams have a reputation of being very involved with “bro culture.”

Pros

Passionate coworkers, great for building your portfolio, a lot of fun events at Blizzard HQ.

Cons

Layoffs every six months or so. Everybody is always waiting for the ball to drop. I’ve seen people get let go right after being hired, and others get let go after decades.
