Pros

Very great job culture as far as the employees. Everyone is creative and outgoing. It's located near the beach (recently moved from Venice to Santa Monica) and happy hours are frequent. Most of the employees are super cool and theres definitely a family vibe.

Cons

Work loads can get stressful at times and certain managers are very indirect so it stunts your growth and what you need to work on to improve.
