Pros

-Attractive and exciting projects (both past and future) -Multicultural environment, good people in the trenches -Fun social engagements and parties -Top notch marketing department that listens to and engages with the studio's fanbase

Cons

-Insane and inhumane crunch cycles that will last for years -Management confuses between seniority and leadership leading to a lot of young and inexperienced leads, producers, directors... -No discernible project management practices. Crunch hours are there to alleviate the constant chaos. -Poor communication and documentation. -Broken and outdated tools and practices. -Poor retention of employees and no performance reviews. -Studio is located in the middle of nowhere. -Salary and benefits package is not worth the aforementioned problems.
