Pros

• Working with lots of talented artists • Competitive pay for entry-level • Nice, expensive office

Cons

• Management views staff as disposable and will terminate with little to no warning • Poor communication overall. Management consistently struggled to provide proper feedback and critique for projects. Little to no training for new hires. Little to no education/ career growth for long-term staff. Very unreceptive to feedback • Consistently overworked staff due to mismanagement, inexperience with the animation pipeline, and unrealistic expectations. • Unpaid holidays, where you had to "earn" them by crunching beforehand • Requires all full-time staff to work on-site without providing relocation assistance

Pros

- Competitive pay - Good benefits - Fun, collaborative field where you get to create something new everyday - Company goes out of it's way to help employees feel included and appreciated

Cons

- YouTube in general requires quick turnaround times which can lead to some crunch. Nothing that isn't found in other jobs of this type however.
