Blizzard

Working here brought me closer to the fanbase of video games. When I saw Blizzard's fans cheering for their team in the Overwatch League or dressing as their favorite hero, I was filled with delight to know that I contributed to a game that makes a lot of people happy.

The company is not free from a competitive political landscape that exists in so many companies. The prejudice is also felt in the nuanced conversations within team meetings, company gatherings, and so forth.

Racism must be stamped out, and to have it welcome me in the halls of a major entertainment studio was disheartening.

It is egregious, and the company defends those with power. This creates a difficult environment for new employees as they navigate a mega corporation that seeks to become even larger.

Growth is often spoken of as a primary means to nurture new employees; I found this goal to be very seldomly practiced.

I cannot recommend enough to potential job seekers to thoroughly vet the staff and management of the department to understand who they are and what environment you'll be walking into.

I know there are better places to work than here.
