Pros

Worked from home during the pandemic, health insurance premium paid for by company.

Cons

Hired "rockstar" executives and paid them enormous salaries with no experience in the field they were managing. Huge pay gap between management team and the staff. No support for production team, and spread it's few members very thin. 10 to 1 ratio of management to production staff. No communication between management, leading to confusing tasks for staff, resulting in getting gaslit for not providing correct assets. Offered unlimited PTO, but poor planning on management side left staff constantly rushing to get last minute asks done, often over the weekend and holidays. Management doesn't listen to staff, even when staff has the experience. There were town hall meetings where management bragged about how many houses they own, and how many expensive NFTs in front of burned-out staff that made a fraction of their pay. Claimed to be 'woke' and inclusive, but it was for profit/show. The few good people we had quickly moved on to other places. Don't trust the positive reviews, they asked us to go online and rate them as best company.
