Pros

There is such a diversity of talents and cultures that offer something new to learn each day. There are artists that have never touched a computer before that are brilliant illustrators, sculptors and photographers; there are artists that have degrees in high level math, physics and computer science. What a splendid mixture of talents creating a synergy for sharing and collaboration. The environment is a creatively stimulated one that fosters and encourages the sharing of information and passion about the art form and the desire to tell stories. Free catered lunch is a huge plus as well as the generous benefits and bonus programs.

Cons

Lack of planning and failure to communicate causes the need to work long and extended hours. Most of the frustration comes from poor communication about deadlines and requirements needed to meet those deadlines. Many managers are relatively young and lack managerial training. Lack of a mentorship program to groom employees for management has negatively affected opportunities and planning for career growth.
