Pros

Free books and good benefits

Cons

Quite a toxic environment within my team and regularly would hear berating across the office by other managers to team members. Also real lack of diversity. I was on a team of 10 - all white upper middle class and the majority went to private school, except myself. Just had an overall air of snobbery unfortunately, plus everyone looked really unhappy most of the time.

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.
