Pros

Very talented coworkers, willing to hire young designers, and a lot of professional resources.

Cons

The hours are long with constant deadlines- a work life balance is seen as a lack of professional commitment, and is punished with fewer to no opportunities for growth and creative agency.

Pros

I was given immediate opportunities to work on multiple projects even as an intern. Felt a part of the team from day one. Highly recommend applying to Rockwell Group. Also, a pro is that the office is dog-friendly!

Cons

No cons by any means. Learned so much there.

Pros

Interesting and high-visibility projects. The company has strong industry recognition and a reputable brand.

Cons

No matter how much effort you put in, studio leadership often has little visibility into individual contributions. Significant time investment—even sustained 100-hour workweeks over multiple months—does not lead to recognition or compensation. Work quality alone is not enough. Recognition tends to depend more on self-promotion and communication than on actual output. As a result, contributions can go unnoticed or be misattributed. There are also concerns around accountability. In some cases, senior staff disengage during critical deadlines yet still receive credit for completed work. This creates an uneven and discouraging environment for those carrying the workload. The culture appears to prioritize internal politics over merit. Attempts to raise concerns through HR have not led to meaningful change. When individuals who contribute to revenue are protected despite toxic behavior, it leaves others to absorb the negative impact. Overall, this dynamic leads to burnout, lack of recognition, and limited trust in leadership processes.
