Blizzard

Immense job satisfaction, Prestige, Perks, such as on-campus dining, exercise facilities, volleyball, basketball, movie theater, library, arcade rooms, etc., etc.

Lazy or inept co-workers (speaking only of quality assurance).

Managers that manage people based on second-hand assumptions about an individual instead of actual experience with an individual (once again, referring to quality assurance).

Leads that abuse their position to cut corners but then penalize individuals who don't cut corners because they 'take too long', even if they still finish within the assigned, allotted work-time (quality assurance).

Mandatory overtime is illegal, but employees were told they should volunteer for overtime 'if they value their job'. Was working approximately 80 hours a week when the SC 2 GoldMaster disc was shipped.

One of the lowest-paying studios in the industry.

Quality Assurance at Blizzard is full of conspiracies. Members often conspire to alter the way a project's advance appears in order to 'stay under the radar.' Even if they find problems, they often don't report them because there is little to no job security, and the nail that stands out gets hammered down. Additionally, the new employee trainers are inept and not afraid to scapegoat the temp hires or report false claims against temp (probational) employees based on false assumptions.
