Pros

Work on amazing games!

The values are well defined and followed through the company. They're descriptive as opposed to prescribed.

The fans have so many heartfelt stories.

Opportunities to have impact on games, broadcast, community, etc...

Cons

Sometimes it can be difficult to see how your work impacts games, especially for those on non-game teams or in non-game roles.

Irvine is very expensive, and gaming industry salaries are lower than the rest of the tech industry.

Advice to Management

Bring more collaboration and respect throughout the company. "One Blizzard" is probably the one value that needs work.
