Blizzard the Company

Something I noticed from the walk through of the offices, sure they are showing off on international TV, but they look fantastic. The look and feel of the complex was wonderful and it had a strong sence of branding. There was plenty of pictures on the walls, statues relating to their games and it was obvious the staff loved their jobs.

Blizzard now have nearly 3,000 staff, for having that many people Blizzard do a pretty impressive job keeping secrets. That’s says something about the commitment and loyalty of their staff something that would be the envy of many other companies.

An addition motivation to stay with Blizzard is their 5 year service award a sword, ten year service award a Lordaeron shield and fifteen year service award a ring. From an HR perspective Blizzard's massive popularity and peoples desire to work there is a double edged sword, they must get some excellent applicants for every job but they probably have to sift through thousands of applications.
