Amazing Opportunity - Anonymous employee Newscape Studios Employee Review

- Nearly all employees are salary (non-exempt) meaning they can still accrue OT pay. - 120 hours of PTO - Consistent, reasonable work in an entertainment business full of turnover and burnout

Fully-remote work is not ideal for all employees. Most of the staff prefer it, however, and it saves substantially on office costs.

- Great coworkers who are as amicable as they are talented. - Flexible hours for remote contractors

- Sub-industry standard pay - Prioritizes hiring via contracts to avoid providing benefits. - Contractors are hired on a week by week basis despite signing a contract to be with the company for several months with no guarantee that work or payment will be provided during that period. - As an artist you're given only one week to do a volume of work that most other studios give 2-3 months for which degrades the overall quality of the work you can do. You are forced to cut corners or work past 40 hours a week. - Not enough resources are given to help artists meet those deadlines such as proper visual development art for new locations or reference images that aren't from YouTube Let's Plays. - Trend chasing projects with little to no originality. - While not mandated crunch is basically mandated with the limited amount of time to do assignments.
