Avoid at all cost - Anonymous employee Bowstring Studios Employee Review

I'm very sorry to read how this former employee viewed his or her time at Bowstring. Obviously, no company is right for everyone, but there are numerous items in here that just don't seem to reflect reality and some that are grounded in misunderstanding of policies. Some examples: - Comp time is given for weekend travel or productions, not for overtime worked during the week. This is clearly outlined in the comp time policy. - Exempt employees, which is basically every Bowstring team member, are not eligible for overtime. This is not a Bowstring policy, it's the law. - All team members are very clearly told that they are not expected to be on Slack or email after-hours, unless a specific project requires it. Some folks obviously are active on Slack more than others, but it is not and never has been a requirement. We take allegations of things like bullying very seriously, but it's hard to reconcile this person's experience with those of the rest of our 35 employees who overwhelmingly report high job satisfaction. I would encourage this person to reach out to me directly to discuss any specific concerns, and similarly, I am happy to discuss the allegations contained herein with any prospective employee. - Sean Quinn, President sean@bowstring.tv
