Great passion, but horrible leadership, compensation, and HR
The culture among employees is great. There's a real sense of camaraderie and passion. There's a strong sense of history, considering how old the company is.

Get out from under Activision Blizzard. Stop trying to adopt the old, failed business models Microsoft abandoned. Get rid of all the corporate executive bloat. Flatten the hierarchy.
