Pros

Creative studio, but crayons and clay do not make up for real career opportunities

Cons

Long hours and low play. Management actually has their own coffee bar and snack machine that they use. It is the "client" area but management camps there and will tell standard employees not to partake in the treats.

Pros

Some of the most talented individuals I've ever seen used to work here.

Cons

Upper management, however, is incredibly shady. Everything from embezzlement, forced overtime with no pay, and a base salary that makes it impossible to earn a living.
