"As someone who plays a lot of video games and loves watching esport (especially Call of Duty and World of Warcraft), not only do I admire Activision Blizzard as a company but I also relate to the company's personal and professional values. As a company who values diversity and creates a welcoming and inclusive environment in both the office and the esport arena, I believe it to be a place where I would thrive. With core pillars such as people, innovation and excellence, AB is a company that not only cares about their clients/customers but also about constantly developing and keeping the world of technology in a constant stream of freshness."

I am excited to contribute to and be part of a team that pushes boundaries and sets new standards in the industry. I am impressed by this company's commitment to employee growth and development. The opportunity to learn from industry leaders, work with state-of-the-art technologies, and contribute to high-impact projects aligns perfectly with my career aspirations. I really value a collaborative environment as Activision Blizzard's culture of teamwork and creativity resonates with me, and I am excited to contribute my skills to a team-oriented environment."

"Activision Blizzard holds a special place in my heart due to World of Warcraft. I have met some of my best, life-long friends through the game and I think it is a very special project which showcases how important digital interaction can be for social expression. I appreciate the push for diversity and how this fosters further innovation, which is lovely to see in the gaming industry. I also appreciate the move toward net zero to help protect our planet. It is lovely to see how far they have already come, and would be exciting to join the future development of the company."

"I am enthusiastic about learning with Activision Blizzard as they are fast-evolving technological innovators making a significant positive impact on the world. Activision Blizzard as a company, and as an entertainment provider, are for anyone and everyone, and give a sense of connection and inclusivity that is difficult to be competed with in the tech industry. I admire how Activision Blizzard are straying from the norm, pushing boundaries and always evolving with the bigger and better. I was drawn to this company due to their strong emphasis on inclusivity with career opportunities, advancements and learning. As a woman who is new to this industry, this is very important to me. I am excited to develop my skillset within a company reputable for advocating for its employees and their abilities, learning opportunities and potential for success and greatness."
