Pros

It's a job? Could be OK to start your career at, but you'll outgrow the studio in a year if you don't get laid off before

Cons

- Micromanagement by production - Exploitation - Gaslighting by HR - Bullying (many cases are known and have been reported, but see the bulletpoint above) - No benefits - 9-6 working hours - No WFH, not even hybrid - The studio is permanently riddled with Covid cases, yet they insist on keeping everyone in the office. Very reckless. - Cold office - No automatic raises despite rise in inflation. People have to beg them for a tiny raise of 100EUR and usually get rejected. You also need to have a formal interrogative meeting to convince them you are worthy of a minuscule raise. - Hard to get holidays on the dates you ask. If you have a family/partner and you want to go on vacation together, good luck with that - Awful time management. The deadlines are always creeping up, no project is ever finished on time due to slow communication and hundreds of unnecessary retakes (both internal and external). - Unable to use any work in your portfolio or having to find it yourself on Youtube
