Pros
Co-workers and free lunch on Wednesdays
Cons
Working at IdeaMachine is not the environment one might expect from a creative industry. Oddly enough, 'ideas' and suggestions are often shot down immediately, usually by the CEO. If the idea did not come from his brain directly, it's a definite no-go. Additionally, the CEO is a huge burden on the company's success and your individual work process. Don't be surprised if you are asked to do several tasks out in left field, and expect him to change his mind every five seconds then back it up with imaginary facts and percentages that make absolutely no logical sense. Honestly, just avoid working here at all cost. If you are wanting to go into the marketing/sales section of the company, expect to be micromanaged and constantly undermined. If you want to work in the animation/creative section, prepare yourself to be let go with very little warning when slow weeks roll in. You will be told that you will be "re-hired" when things pick up again, but I never witnessed that actually happen. If you are desperate for a job, then by all means apply, but don't expect to grow with the company. There is very little room to move up.
