Pros

Flexible remote policy (for now, seems like this will change soon) Great team Fun material Nice beginner foothold in the entertainment industry Some attempts to improve inefficient systems Standard no-frills benefits package, good health insurance

Cons

Management are all reactive and histrionic, with no attention to downstream effects or the long term. Workflows are changed haphazardly on a weekly, almost daily basis with no warning, no documentation, no training, and no validation to identify potential issues. Management continues to spontaneously "improve" workflows by making them less efficient and adding more steps. Everything is run out of Excel when there is affordable, easily-implemented project management software available for decades now. Individuals are consistently gaslit and scapegoated for failure of the extremely fallible system. Everyone is overworked, underpaid, untrained, and exploited to the maximum. For the past six months all raises and perks have stopped and promotions are refused so strongly that they have let valuable team members walk rather than agree to change their title to match their actual responsibilities. And yet, known and documented creeps are kept on indefinitely. All of this despite growing business, great profits, and augmented prices for our services to the client.

Pros

- 'Some' teams are supportive (but most teams are toxic) - Mostly competent teammates. - Great place to learn - Some leaders are good (but the majority of them are users and play heavy office politics) - May lead to good career opportunities once you leave as they go to great lengths to meet their clients' demands - Some teams/roles have work-life balance. So make sure to ask what their shift schedules are like before taking a job from a specific team

Cons

- Below industry standard pay - They will overwork you around the clock without any significant rewards, except for some teams - They will take it personally if you refuse to leave your family during the major holidays for unplanned and unannounced work "emergencies" - High school-level office politics even at the director or some executive level. - The leadership will not keep their verbal promise, so make sure to have everything in writing if they ask you to do anything beyond what's required - They will not take care of you when you get burnt out because they overwork you for a long time, and even after you deliver what's required and more - The leadership likes to claim their subordinates' accomplishments as their own and then lay off the people who actually delivered to save themselves from the chopping block
