Pros

Work life balance is good Free books Solid benefits People are generally nice

Cons

Getting promoted is almost impossible There's a revolving door of lower level employees and CEO's don't seem to care about them at all It's frustrating hearing about a growth mindset when junior employees can barely affor to pay their rent

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.
