Pros

Amazing teams, with great people. Encourage you to ask questions and learn from them. Requires a proactive mind which they respond to with more tasks and responsibility. The more you put in the more you get out of it! Overall a great experience and insight into publishing.

Cons

unpaid, except for expenses, but as the stints are two-three weeks long, you can save up a bit so you can get through them. Tricky if you have to pay rent in London.

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.
