Pros

Frankly, I wasn't sure if Paper Owl was worth it after seeing the previous reviews, and was hesitant to take this job when I was offered it. However, my doubts were dashed a while ago, because not a single thing mentioned was accurate. Work from home has been excellently managed, the atmosphere is always exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and supervisor critique is always presented very fairly. I want to call special attention to the CEO, who went beyond empty promises of diversity to actively fight for those who needed support they'd been denied by outside sources. I personally have never seen someone so genuinely dedicated to a good work environment, and I'm seriously grateful for his help.

Cons

It's presently all work from home... if that's a dealbreaker?

Pros

Interesting and important projects being produced here by lovely, hard-working people with incredible skills in animation, art and story boarding departments.

Cons

High turnaround of production staff is a red flag from the outset. Extremely poor organisation, communication and accountability from top-down in this company. Already overworked staff are cajoled into working unpaid overtime to try to alleviate their fellow overworked colleagues. Systems in place and highly demanding projects do not allow for work to be completed in any natural work day, resulting in high tension, stress and low morale across the company which builds over time. It’s a high stress work environment and there is little respect or understanding shown for the work-life balance of employees.
