Pros

The seasonal events with open bar are fun. The staff is pretty diverse and queer which was cool.

Cons

The work is mundane and there is no upward growth. Management are super contradictory and do not trust their employees. The work space was cool since you are surrounded by art. The folks there act super cool and chill and like they are your friends, but they’re not. It is lowkey a cult. Also everyone makes the same amount of money, even if someone works harder and actually does the work. So that sucks.
