Pros

You get paid well starting off, it's "studio" style so you can pave your own path to a certain degree. If you can find good people to follow under, you can enjoy it.

Cons

Raises and promotions internally are difficult,they don't even clearly tell you how it's possible. Most people get 2-3% raises per year so you end up earning less than your peers after 2-3 years due to inflation. Despite 60hr work weeks being standard, leadership still believes people aren't "working enough" and requires increasingly days of being in office to watch over us. Honestly over time the lack of appreciation or sense of community becomes exhausting.

Pros

You meet a lot of creative people with similar enthusiasm and spend your nights and weekends with them. The software you get to use is top, but the computer at your desk won't be able to run it properly

Cons

You never get a Friday or Saturday night off so that you can meet new people or a Saturday or Sunday afternoon off to see New York City

Pros

Rigorous training and standards. There are good people there; formed good long lasting relationships and friendships with peers. Decent benefits.

Cons

No work-life balance; overtime pay is not good; lots of politics(nature of the beast I guess); some management staff consistently treat subordinates like crap(everyone knows it, nothing gets done about those people and it drains morale)
