Pros

I had applied for another position that I didn't get, and the HR recruiter reached out to me about a new position that hadn't been listed yet. Overall, she was extremely helpful. This was when the company had just merged with another, and she was very frank about my concerns. I interviewed with HR, then with an associate director, then finally with the Director of Marketing. Overall, it was a very fast process and it was under a week between my first interview and the offer.

Cons

It's publishing, so it doesn't pay very well, though the starting salary is above other publishers. Otherwise, the company has a great culture, and great benefits, vacation, etc.

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.
