Pros: Nothing. Everything is just not good.

Cons: Too many to mention; just avoid this company.

Pros: Most people are very passionate about what they work on. Geeking out is fully supported and expected. Expect that no one will shame you for what you love to do. Amazing level of pride for the things I contributed to.

Cons: The department will give lip service to the "importance" of your job, but then not give support to actually make things better. Operations and feature work often take priority over everything else.

Pros: The level of passion and skill that the majority of the people at Blizzard share makes coming to work a pleasure. Every team I ever interfaced with, it was apparent in most cases that we were on the same page, even though we were on different teams. The collaborative spirit that is distilled from the top down around org goals, which then get extended to division goals, helps ensure that the right job gets done.

Cons: At least in the past, depending on the division one was in, the fact that you worked for Blizzard was used as a point in compensation. This helped skew compensation packages on the low side. Dev teams were/are mostly immune to this, but some of the more general purpose roles were not. This may have improved in the last 3-4 years to retain talent.
