Pros

- The people are awesome and usually kind - The office in Sydney is a good space to work in - There are knowledgable creatives. If you put in the time to learn off of people you will - Daily ping pong break can be a good distraction

Cons

- The editing work is terrible. This is not a creative job. You edit footage shot by people who have never used a camera before. Even most piece to cameras are garbage somehow - You will be most likely be severely underpaid compared to other full-time editing jobs. 50k annually as a full-time editor is inexcusable. - Management focus on the money and generally don't understand why the editors are always annoyed. They try to make them happy with pizza days and parties instead of pay rises and praise - At any moment someone pop up with a camera and try to get you in on filming a lame marketing video. Everything fun you do there is always being filmed so they can look like a fun company on their socials - The location of the office makes no sense. Every shop sounding it is a mechanics and it's a struggle to get to with or without a car due to parking and how far it is from the train station - The bosses aren't strangers to an unfair dismissal and unethical ways of informing their employee's they're in trouble
