Pros

The amenities are well managed. There is fruits/food in the studio. Studio are very well taken care of.

Cons

it feels like they are very open, but once you point out something bad, they will turn around and blame you. Middle management can be rude to artists and get no repercussions. Montreal studio don't get good sequences as in london... so beware.
