Pros

- insurance - pension Typing some words since I need five to validate the review, but can't find more pros, sorry.

Cons

- bro culture - boys club - underpay - really, and surprising, low level and lack of CGI knowledge, artists and leads - production does not know how to run a show: lack of organization, complete media, audiovisual and CGI analphabetism, constantly asking for ETAs (it's your job to determine ETAs with the leads) - no filter or whatsoever when contracting people: sexual jokes on the group chats, leads screaming at artists for no reason - leads insulting applicants or calling them liars after the interview when the Skype is over - constantly repeating work because the leads don't brief the team mates

Pros

Growing, challenging and trying to step up the quality!

Cons

Sometimes there's too much pressure. But I believe it's also due to the moment being of transition.
