Pros

Great group of people to work with and learn from. Family oriented environment despite being a large studio. Free lunch twice a week.

Cons

Under Activision Being under Activision means they always need approval from them before making huge decisions such as hiring someone full-time. They keep you on contract with promises of becoming full-time. Don't pay well Eventually let go of more than half of their staff and contracts to work on CoD.

Pros

Management listens and makes changes based on feedback.

Cons

Being a partner studio can make it difficult to get top-tier work and pay. You’ll have more freedom and pay at the main studios but worse work life balance and location.
