Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) has been named to
Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® list in 2015,
marking its first-ever placement on the prestigious list.
Activision Blizzard’s rich culture, where fun, creativity and
operational excellence are celebrated, has fostered great pride
among its employees. The results of the Great Place to Work® Trust
Index© survey found that Activision Blizzard ranked highly with its
employees in the great pride, great credibility, and great
camaraderie categories. The vast majority of Activision Blizzard
employees cited the friendly atmosphere where people can be
themselves and the commitment to give extra to get the job done as
highlights of the employee culture.
“We have always considered Activision Blizzard to be one of the
greatest places to work,” said Bobby Kotick, Chief Executive
Officer of Activision Blizzard. “To be recognized for it by others
is gratifying and rewarding but being acknowledged as a great place
to work by our own people means more to me than just about
anything. They are the reason we are being recognized today.”
Activision Blizzard’s rich history includes combining the most
talented developers and publishers in the entertainment industry,
Activision Publishing and Blizzard Entertainment, to create today’s
largest and most profitable western interactive entertainment
publishing company that employs over 7,000 people globally. The
company’s talented employees have created some of the most popular
and beloved entertainment franchises in the world including Call of
Duty®, Destiny®, Diablo®, Skylanders®, StarCraft® and World of
Warcraft®, which have been played by hundreds of millions of people
around the world.
“In our early days, we were selling the office furniture just to
make payroll. Today, we’re one of the largest and most successful
entertainment companies in the world – and that’s entirely due to
the exceptionally talented, inspired, driven, and hard-working
people at Activision Blizzard. I couldn’t be prouder of their
accomplishments,” added Kotick.
Activision Blizzard continues to grow and is currently hiring
for more than 1,150 positions across its global offices. To apply

Methodology
Fortune partners annually with Great Place to Work® to conduct
the most extensive employee survey in corporate America to identify
the 100 Best Companies to Work For ®. Two-thirds of a company's
survey score is based on the results of the Trust Index© Employee
Survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each
company. This survey asks questions related to employees' attitudes
about management's credibility, overall job satisfaction, and
camaraderie. The other third is based on responses to the Culture
Audit©, which includes detailed questionnaires about pay and
benefit programs and a series of open-ended questions about hiring
practices, methods of internal communication, training, recognition
programs and diversity efforts.
