Blizzard Entertainment Reviews

Pros

-Employees bleed passion. They embrace the 8 core values wholeheartedly and live and breath it.
-Opportunities for learning and growth. The company has grown quickly over the past few years and there are opportunities beyond just game development! eSports, Consumer Products, Story and Franchise Development and more.
-Limited hierarchy, everyone pitches in and has a voice, and focused on meritocracy
-You can be yourself. You don't have to be a gaming geek, there are foodies, pet lovers, table top gamers, tinkerers and so many other interests that you can share with others

Advice to Management

-Never forget the roots of the organization, the creativity and focus on quality, but realize that we need to catch up in certain areas as well

Pros

Incredible legacy of delivering epic entertainment
Can feel like an extended family

Advice to Management

Keep focusing on the people. Including those in remote regions.

Pros

Really passionate staff, who are all friendly and easy to talk with. Some of the products are the best in the business and they care about the fans.

Advice to Management

Look at your leaders performance and behave more like a professional company. Look beyond the game teams with regards to culture, it's a big organisation and not everyone is a developer. It takes massive support to launch and maintain the games but it seems only the game teams (maybe HQ staff) are looked after.

Pros

Amazing benefits and enjoyed going to work every day to help out players, fans, and colleagues.

Pros

They live up to their core values.

Pros

Amazing Perks (copies of every game, Blizzard Bucks, Cheap Yet Tasty Food on campus). Good Pay. Wonderful People. The Library is incredible!

Advice to Management

None at the moment but that may change with time.

Pros

Friendly people, good life/work balance, safe city to live in

Advice to Management

Foster more ways to help people grow and try new things

Pros

The People, the swag, Blizzcon, the company events.

Advice to Management

Don't let Office Politics dictate how you treat your employees. If an employee goes above their direct manager's head in an effort to be heard, that manager shouldn't be able to get retribution.

Pros

Blizzard tries to keep the environment like a campus, where you can learn and grow for any dream positions you want to pursue. People care about diversity and respect different cultures.

Advice to Management

You are the best manager, bring positive energy to the team, encourage people trying new ideas with a precise guidance to make sure things is always focused and purposeful.

Pros

Working for my favorite gaming company, good office location, got to work with many like-minded individuals, free games, and a plethora of other benefits.

Advice to Management

Care about your reps. Please. I wasn't the last person this happened to since I was fired, and I'm sure there are others currently suffering. Depression and anxiety are real things that should be taken seriously. Especially when a rep with good numbers starts to slip -- help lift them up instead of kicking them to the curb without so much as a Final Written Warning.

*Prior to being fired, I was not on a Final Warning. I went from a Verbal to terminated with no chance to speak up to defend myself, and though I was constantly reaching out for help with the situation I was in, no help from my leadership was given.

**A side note, it appears that my previous review had been deleted by the employer earlier this summer. Trying to sweep bad reviews under the rug is indicative of a sour leadership and HR team. I'll keep re-posting my review, as that is my right to do so.
