Pros

Professional, easy going office culture. Sense of importance in the work with little worry about politics. Comfortable hours that never stressed me out.

Cons

Little room for growth. Pay was minimal. Little engagement with the superiors at lower-level positions. Lack of feedback can sometimes leave you feeling adrift.

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
