Business Outlook
Pros
The company splurges on bagels every Friday. Occasionally you get to partake in the adjoining businesses' parties.
Cons
SDI's contracts with major studios bring in huge revenue, but little of this is invested in on staff or equipment-- overseas expansion seems to be the priority. The wages are unliveably low, and there is virtually no opportunity for career growth; instead, you grow by leaving the company. The company transitioned poorly to the WFH era, skimping on the equipment necessary for quality for post production work. I think it's also worth noting that one of the topmost company heads is married to the head of finance, and the company makes no attempt to reassure staff that this isn't a conflict of interest.
