Good for a stepping stone, but it will rarely lead anywhere but out the door
You'll meet passionate people.
Perks are pretty good.
There is no longevity.
Have to choose between surviving at "BLIZZARD!" or living well.
Management is a joke.
There is no real path to a career; you must be lucky to move up the ladder.
Consistently reworking structure to squeeze more work out of lower-level employees without paying more.
Merit increases do not keep up with the cost of living.
Promotional structure is based on how well you are liked, not how well you do your job.

Outside of the top 2% of the company, everyone is paid on average 30% less than their market value.
Stop making up excuses as to why low-level employees don't deserve more respect and pay.
