Pros

There is a positive working environment, great colleagues and interesting work. Benefits are good.

Cons

Pay is not competitive compared to other industries, and it is hard to get a pay increase. Management is too concerned with parity of pay across equivalent roles, which means pay increases based on merit are not forthcoming.

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.
