Pros

It is technically a job. It pays the bills, but only just.

Cons

This has been the most disrespectful workplace I have ever encountered. They pay the lowest wages of any company in Ireland. Management lie to the employees, they withhold information and they act disrespectfully to the staff. HR at this studio is worse than nonexistent, they activity undermine the staff, they never reply to emails or requests for information and they are some of the most disturbingly uninformed, and unhelpful people I have ever encountered. For example staff who requested meetings to discuss their salaries were told to wait for months, and eventually told they would be laid off without ever having had the salary discussions they requested. The studio seems like it is about to go under. Mass lay offs are currently forthcoming.

Pros

TV studio located in a nice area of Dublin.

Cons

Senior management have no humanity or respect for creatives. The pay is the lowest in the irish industry and quite often staff are expected to work late for no extra pay. Very high security and little trust for employees (ie fingerprint scanners on all doors, clocking in systems that monitor every minute you work, being scolded if breaks run over a few minutes) Simply put, there is no heart at the centre of this company. If you are considering a job at this studio, you need to ask yourself why you got into this industry in the first place. If it was to follow a creative path, or create some art of worth to share with the world, avoid this studio at all costs. Boulder Media is the ugly face of the modern industry and is a prime example of what happens when a once creative studio is hijacked by corporate CEOs and con artists masquerading as producers.
