Pros
A good thing to have on your resume (and you will be poached because recruiters are aware of how bad it is right now)
Cons
-Terrible compensation. Company says they are "working on it" every year, and it never changes. We make record profits for the company constantly and pay is not even close to industry standard. Apparently this is based on "performance", however- Managers can only give one or two employees an actual raise per year by department. So even if you are an above average employee, they will knock it down to average because they simply do not have the budget to give you a raise. We've lost really great people because Blizzard refuses to hand out raises above 3%. What's left are the bright eyed new recruits who don't know better and the 10+ year blizz lifers. The second group is extremely cliquey. -Promotion is impossible here. Legit impossible. It is scary to see how many people have been at blizz for 5+ years and are still mid level, or paid abysmally low. I've met people who have been at the company just shy of ten years and have not been promoted. They pretend to care VERY much for you, but believe me, they do not. -Poor management, inflation of middle management positions, and stress on live services has also turned this studio into a shadow of what it once was. "Blizzard quality" is now "Blizzard irresolution"- get ready to pass whatever you're working on through a gamut of middle managers. Design by committee is rampant in all departments, making things late, unfinished, and most importantly, not fun to play.
