Pros

The extra benefits are really great (e.g. student loan repayment assistance, extensive vacation time, good health coverage).

Cons

The retention for POCs is really low and there aren't many POCs in executive positions to offer mentorship, either. They have a good D&I committee and they are certainly making an effort, but this is a very white industry and it can be challenging to be the only voice in a room.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
