Pros

The level of passion and skill that the majority of the people at Blizzard share makes coming to work a pleasure.

Every team I ever interfaced with, it was apparent in most cases that we were on the same page, even though we were on different teams.

The collaborative spirit that is distilled from the top down around org goals, which then get extended to division goals, helps ensure that the right job gets done.

Cons

At least in the past, depending on the division one was in, the fact that you worked for Blizzard was used as a point in compensation. This helped skew compensation packages on the low side. Dev teams were/are mostly immune to this, but some of the more general purpose roles were not. This may have improved in the last 3-4 years to retain talent.

Advice to Management

Keep doing all the little things that make people thrilled and honored to work there.
