Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They're fine. They seem to have a good commitment to maintain the company values. They've made some pretty big mistakes, but they've also recognised and owned those mistakes.
Review from Engineering Dept
Very open-minded, clear communicators, great ambitions to provide the best entertainment experience to the world.
Review from Engineering Dept
There is a commitment to quality and our customers that infuses the company from the top down.
Review from Engineering Dept
Mike Morhaime is somebody who actually cares and doesn't always make the most lucrative choices if he knows it will impact our quality, ethics, support of our players, or the greater gaming industry as a whole.
Review from Engineering Dept
You are valued and listened to here.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Practicing what they preach and not pillaging their employees for every drop of sweat they can ring out of them for no pay.
Review from Engineering Dept
Paying higher salaries to workers.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
It's on the high-side of normal.
Review from Engineering Dept
The profit sharing is nice
Review from Engineering Dept
Could be higher, Irvine is expensive
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Being paid 1/3rd of what the job I'm doing is worth by market value is a joke, which is why we're all leaving.
Review from Engineering Dept
if you value your life, stay away from Blizzard.
Review from Engineering Dept
Our pay is lower than it should be because everyone wants to work here. Our benefits are great, with the exception of our 401K, which isn't.
Review from Engineering Dept
Blizzard is greedy, do not apply.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Everyone has the same passion to produce good work, and refine their practice. Everyone has a say in the work process, and everyone's voice is heard and honored. It is truly a team effort, and everyone is a valuable asset.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being surrounded by people I enjoy being around.
Review from Engineering Dept
Everybody loves what they are working on
Review from Engineering Dept
Tight, motivated, and results driven.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My office suffers a passive-aggressive culture, where people don't address problems head-on.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone is at work because they want to be there. And genuinely wants to be there. It's not just luxury and gaming all day. Heck playing games only happens during lunches, and an occasional once a month fun day. Everyone there wants to be there to work on awesome products.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's fun and friendly, relaxed, and supportive.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Improve the cultural undertones. My office has a passive-aggressive culture, which severely elevates a shared sense of impostor syndrome. I've never worked with such a room full of unbelievably competent people, who all simultaneously believe they are incompetent.
Review from Engineering Dept
Not destroy the spirit and soul of your employees by paying them fairly.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
I met a bunch if really cool and friendly people, and we had some great conversations.
Review from Engineering Dept
They are mostly focused on how well you will fit into the culture and the goals of the company. They do test your knowledge to make sure you can do the job. But a lot of the interview involved getting to know each other as a person, and with multiple people. 3 interviews, with 12 people
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Would be nice for it to take less than 3 months to hear back about how the job seeking process is going.
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Lunch, and going home for the day.
Review from Engineering Dept
Despite my lack of college education, people have recognized how much valuable knowledge and work I can bring. I am a fast and hard worker, and they respect that so much they choose not to abuse it. The company and my team really do care.
Review from Engineering Dept
Being part of something bigger than myself, having a tiny say of the quality that is delivered
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
It's hard to get excited about work when your managers have no clue what you do or how to do it, or even how to fairly evaluate you compared to other people in your department.
