Pros

Great vacation time (start with 20 vacation, 4 personal, plus sick and additional 10 or so days where offices are closed). Also great benefits.

Cons

Pay for entry-level is good for industry, but mid-level and up don't pay as well as other big publishers. Very corporate.

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.
