Pros: From the moment I started here, I felt finally at home. I've had several jobs at major tech companies before now, but none of them ever felt like they were invested in me as a developer. Blizzard invested in me right away, offering more compensation than I asked for and treating me as a valuable team member from day one. Every day I work here is fun. I get to be a flat-out nerd and be surrounded by other flat-out nerds. I am surrounded by co-workers who value each other's input. As a member of the LGBT community, I was excited to find that I was not the only one in my immediate vicinity. My team is wildly diverse in every way, and it was the first time I was on a team that was majority women in tech.

Cons: Getting hired can be difficult unless you know someone inside the company.

Pros: - Every franchise is doing extremely well! - There's excitement within the company right now that truly hasn't been felt since early WoW days. - Leadership at all levels is engaged, and I really love that everyone is doing their part as they want to see the company succeed.

Cons: - Not many opportunities for employees to work from home. Blizzard has always been pretty centric to its main hubs and/or Irvine. - Not really a Blizzard 'thing' but the industry itself is very volatile. - No company public transportation (i.e. Google).

Pros: The title says it all: our company is dedicated not only to creating epic entertainment experiences but also to creating an environment that employees love to work in. It's an awesome company with a multitude of perks, benefits, and company events. Most importantly, though, your coworkers are awesome and your room to grow here is limitless. Our CEO and executive team is awesome and really does an amazing job working for both us as employees and our fans and players.

Cons: Irvine can be a bit dull at times, and the pay might not be as comparable to other companies in Orange County, cost of living-wise. However, you don't have to live in Irvine, and I feel adequately compensated.
