Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied for a position, and a recruiter reached out to me.

The initial round with the manager, which lasted for 1 hour, happened and they gave me a take-home challenge.

I worked on the take-home and submitted it on time. I reached out to the recruiter and manager but never got a reply.

I felt it was a total waste of time.

Pros: Great co-workers, fun company-sponsored events. After-hours groups like board and tabletop game groups are available to anyone who shows up.

Cons: Management is becoming increasingly detached and bloated due to growth. Without stretching too much, I could honestly say I had seven bosses. I was also regularly hit with unnecessary overtime.

Pros: From the very top, Blizzard is committed to its employees. They have great perks and great policies.

Cons: The middle management is completely broken. There are no decision makers, no delegators, and no trust. Endless chains of meetings are the norm, and nobody who is allowed to make a decision has any motivation to do anything.
