Pros

- Great People: The coworkers, team leads, and most of supervisors are genuinely easy to work with. - Fully Remote: You have the flexibility of working from home. - Projects with a lot of exposure - Talented Team: The artists produce high-quality work despite some serious internal hurdles.

Cons

- Communication Bloat: Too many departments, domain chairs, and endless emails/meetings make staying on the same page a nightmare. - Rigid Hierarchy: The organization is overly bureaucratic and top-heavy. - Slow Decision-Making: Getting a simple "yes" or "no" involves too many layers of approval. - Outdated Tools: Production tracking software is obsolete, making many task a tedious chore. - Manual Labor: There is a frustrating lack of automation; people are still doing tasks by hand that should be automated. - Broken Pipeline: The workflow is heavy, unstable, and held together by "band-aid" fixes.

Pros

Great equipment, great team feeling

Cons

Start up feel (at the time) with growing pains as far as communicating with London. Leaps and bounds improvements to today, I'm sure.

Pros

Coffee, (mostly) nice coworkers, new facilities

Cons

They'll bring you in from anywhere in the world and dump you when they're done with you. Very low encouragement of creativity. Low wages. No support. No clue. Taking this job is one of my biggest regrets.
