Pros

At the start of my experience there in 2006 it was like walking into a a who new level on awesomeness, You got paid to help players in this amazing game. Granted there was a set amount of "tickets" you had to meet an hour, however the focus of the company was truly on giving each player that EPIC experience. You were able to move up in the company as fast or as slow as you wanted, the bonuses where amazing when you got them and the training just got better as the company evolved.

Cons

Sadly the company got to big for its own good and quickly went from quality to quantity. There was a time when it was a hush hush thing when "Operation Condor has left the roost" and when I left in 2011 it was a giving thing to mass tell thousands of players a day. It truly is a game of who you know and even worse when your bosses are BFFs with HR, The management never took the job seriously but had no issues whatsoever taking the glory when their team did well. Perks from the company are slowly draining, First 2 Blizzcons you would get 3 tickets for friends and family, then the next only two, then the next only one, then you got 3 tickets that you could "pay for". Frankly I am surprised that they didn't make the employees pay to go in and work it. The management would constantly lie to the staff about issues that were important, like the decision to completely remove Volt from the company days after they promised up and down it was there to stay. Being in Customer Service just made it that much worse, they would tell you that CS is the face of the company but it was really CS was the red headed step child of Blizzard that got the blame anytime something went wrong. The sad truth of it is it went to being Blizzard Blue for Pride in the company, to Blizzard Green and all about the greed for the money. I leave you with this.... Log into WoW, try to make a petition.... See if it even LETS YOU MAKE A PETITION... thats what Blizz CS has fallen too. Does that sounds like the most Epic experience ever to you?

Pros

- Depending on the team, you get to work with some great people. - Company events are fun and make you temporarily forget that you're still in a corporate environment. - You're near the games being released.

Cons

On the surface, the company talks a big game about being structured and performance-driven. In reality, it feels pretty chaotic once you’re actually in it. Expectations aren’t clearly defined, and what “success” looks like seems to shift depending on the week or who you’re talking to. You end up spending more time managing optics and trying to stay aligned with moving targets than actually doing solid engineering work. What makes it worse is how management handles team dynamics. Toxic behavior doesn’t really get addressed — if anything, it sometimes feels like it’s enabled. Feedback can feel very one-sided, and when you raise concerns, they’re not always taken seriously or represented fairly. There are definitely moments where the narrative about your performance doesn’t match the reality of what you’re actually doing day to day, which slowly kills trust. At a minimum, leadership needs to get better at clear communication, setting stable and objective expectations, and actually supporting both engineers and managers. Without that, even strong teams start to feel dysfunctional. Compensation doesn’t make up for it either. It often feels like decisions are driven by cost-cutting rather than recognizing real impact, which makes the whole environment feel more transactional than motivating. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place in its current state, especially if you’re an experienced professional looking for a stable, well-run role.
