Blizzard

Had an amazing culture for anyone with a nerdy background. Anything you were interested in, you could find others on campus that shared your interest. However, I'm conflicted if I should rate the company on my experience before things started going downhill or not.

If you are not on a game team, you are a second-class citizen. You are paid less and get fewer perks than those on game teams. Pay is much lower than industry standards in the region.

After hearing about the mass exodus that's going on after layoffs, I'm glad I was one of the ones that was laid off. People are currently scrambling to change teams or get jobs with other companies. I know multiple people trying to get on game teams because they feel like they'd be safer in case of another round of layoffs.

Honestly, with the amount of change going on at Blizzard at the moment, anything good about the company will be gone within a few years. I have a feeling the culture will change towards focusing more on profit rather than making good games in order to satisfy Bobby Kotick and ATVI's investors.
