Turbulent startup. Brilliant creatives. Increasingly toxic executive leadership.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Projects are unrivaled in scale for the field of immersive art. Startup environment is exciting and fast paced. The majority of the staff are brilliant, eccentric, and community minded.

Cons

The company is at a crossroads. Current executive leadership does not demonstrate values of transparency, innovation, or trust. They are bringing an outdated corporate structure and culture to what was once a progressive workplace. It's a shame. If they continue in this direction, creative output will suffer.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has great health , dental, and medical benefits. There’s Paid Time Off and Holiday Pay. There are discounts and free tickets for the exhibit. Sometimes employees are provided snacks and catering.

Cons

There are no consistent raises or bonuses, lack of communication throughout departments, doesn’t prioritize employee health or safety, lack of urgency in fixing broken equipment and art in the exhibit, PTO doubles as sick leave, very bureaucratic, upper management lack experience based on their work performance, management takes very long to implement feedback, and doesn’t receive it well. Very much a performative activism.
