Pros

Culture is lovely, non-toxic, open and very understanding. People are accepting and diverse. The management is very transparent about business affairs. Learning and growth focussed environment.

Cons

Salaries are well below average. Anti-title mentality results in little understanding by those in management on what employee's responsibilities are and subsequently what they should be paid. No bonuses, ever. Inflation increases to salaries are not guaranteed each year. No overtime pay, but working after hours is expected fairly frequently. 50% of issues raised by employees are 'forgotten' about. Employees are often expected to take on more work than one person can realistically handle. Certain members of management are entitled and exempted from taking responsibility.

Pros

Sea Monster is special because of the people who work there. You can see by how long many of them have been around that they genuinely care about the work and each other.

Cons

Like in any creative industry, projects can get stressful.

Pros

The studio is filled with wonderful and intelligent professionals. Everyone knows the industry like the back of their hand and they handed out some very useful advice.

Cons

Over the course of two weeks, I would've liked to engage in some more hands on work, but overall the experience was not a waste of time as a learning student.
