Blizzard Games, Exec Drama
You get to work for Blizzard. Tons of free games. Great environment. Impressive on a resume.
A lot of the executives do a whole lot of nothing but telling people what to do. The longer you've been there, the more you're paid for the less you do. New people are expected to work 60 or more hours a week. Morale is slipping; there's lots of teenage drama and backstabbing. It really feels like everyone communicates solely through post-it notes.
At least the post-it notes look cool.
Go back to the early days where "Developers" were actually developing and not holding closed-door, 8-hour meetings every day to discuss how to give yourselves raises.
