Pros

People are passionate about what they do. Lots of cross team communication.

Cons

Initiative is punished. Dissenting opinions are punished. Micromanagement via timekeeping software. Line managers pass pressure from PO down to engineers. Line managers are passive aggressive and hostile toward those with career aspirations. Salary is subpar and lowballing seems to be the norm. They say "flexible working" but it's a lie. You will be expected to stay on until 5-6pm on a semi regular basis. Upper management justify low wages with equity, but the equity is pitiable.

Pros

- Visionary and skilled Leadership - Working on the cutting edge - Job stability in an industry that infamously has no stability and is primarily contract based. - Big, meaty, meaningful projects in the entertainment industry. - Leadership offers best possible benefits to full time employees they can offer. - Culture and people are fantastic.

Cons

- Work is project based, which means tight deadlines on high profile projects for clients can severely limit ability to have any work / life balance for unpredictable amounts of time. This is the reality of the business we are in, but worth mentioning!
