Pros

Overall, a great company.

August reputation, filled with super talented people. Known worldwide.

Products are great. Strong support for employees.

Cons

Poor pay, relative to other top-tier tech companies. (The "Blizzard Tax", i.e. the hit to your salary because you get to have the Blizzard name on your resume.)

Ironically, overly focused on diversity & inclusion.

Has lost a lot of talent in the past three years.

Advice to Management

Employees need to be better paid. Not just the top performers, but everyone. California is very expensive.
