Pros

I was brought on for an internship at Newscape Studios for 6 months. It was a great experience and I learned many new skills while I helped the gaming department. Our team was always super outgoing and went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable when I first started out. Some days were harder work than others but the sense of community made it all worthwhile. I'd absolutely work here again if the opportunity arises in the future.

Cons

I don't really have anything negative to say, but I would've liked more opportunities to socialize outside of work. The company lets everyone work remote so you don't see people face to face as much anymore.

Pros

- 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

Cons

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

Pros

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

Cons

- 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.
