Pros

Surrounded by wonderfully creative people everyday, snacks at the office, local benefits, employer-paid health insurance, flexible working hours.

Cons

Being run by people who have no business running a company this large. We keep hiring people who have experience in fields the company needs help in, only to ignore their advice if it's something the founders don't want to hear. Work, then re-do the work because something foreseeable changes, then re-do the re-do when a founder changes their mind about something and wants it different. Understand that the future markets we're building in won't treat the project like Santa Fe did. "That's what we did when we built the House.." means NOTHING anymore.

Pros

We made amazing art experiences for people, the people who work there or worked there were very talented and I loved my project based co-workers

Cons

Upper Management is a NIGHTMARE. They dont listen to anyone, they are trying to make this special company like a Disney Clone. During my 2+ years there they mismanaged not only their millions of dollars in funding but also talented, experienced and qualified insiders by refusing to listen to them when they raised concerns.
