Pros: New CEO actually looks like they will change things within the company. Subsidized lunches for the RTO days. Dog-friendly campus. Bonus is based on performance review instead of leeching off the WoW team again. Swag giveaways.

Cons: You can have a good performance review, and your manager will still find things to fire you over. Not diversity friendly, like they were supposed to be after the lawsuits. Would only take this job to open up more opportunities for me in the games industry - not necessarily to become a permanent employee. Management makes up weird policies on the spot whenever they disagree with you taking time off. Can't use a 2-year-old stein as drinkware as it contains lead. Every event feels like BlizzCon, where no one knows how to shower or act in public. People are still glorifying the cube crawl days.

Pros: Provides employees opportunities to further develop technical skills by changing positions within the company.

Cons: Too fast-paced at times. Easily overwhelmed in various roles.

Pros: The culture is awesome. Everyone has their inner geek, and at Blizzard, you can truly be yourself and release your inner geek. Great perks, especially if you're a gamer (Blizzcon, fun team events, etc.).

Cons: Pay is slightly lower than average, but that's probably because Blizzard isn't located in the ultra-expensive Bay Area.
