Pros
-Great benefits package, after you've been there long enough. -They have burnt so many bridges with so many people, they are CONSTANTLY desperate for new hires. You can get hired with zero previous industry experience (or even knowledge), if you smooth talk them. -You'll spend the first couple weeks getting paid to do barely anything (if you're in post), with lots of room for learning AVID, Mac OS, editing workflows, and/or AE workflows... until you're thrust into an absurd trial by fire. -Free daily lunches from good local restaurants... assuming you're hired when they're in the midst of trying to sucker the new employees, before they cease the lunches again. -They tend to search far and wide for very talented people, and some very wonderful people in general... who then get chewed up and spit out, often within the span of months. -If you pay your dues here, and leave on bad terms, it's practically a badge of honor in the Austin Film & TV industry.
Cons
-Toxic management who don't care at all about their employees, whether it's mental health or physical wellbeing. The heads of the company are so incredibly toxic, they'll brag about how many people they've fired. The more time you spend there, the more likely they are to speak to you in a flat-out abusive manner, and you can easily Google the company to find some lawsuits over exactly that. -The inept higher-level management sometimes hire inept (butt-kissing) lower-level management. A lower-level management position will sometimes be filled by a bozo who couldn't lead a ham sandwich; they'll sometimes hire a "lead" who blows off their team, throws their team under the bus, and/or does pretty much anything to avoid actually working. -Perpetually understaffed, due to the issues listed above, resulting in employees being overworked to the point of insanity. If you gathered 50 former Megalo employees in one room, and threw the tiniest pebble you could find, you'd still hit probably at least a dozen people who were forced to work 60-hour work weeks (if not 70, 80, 90, or even 100 hour work weeks). -Management loves negative reinforcement, and hates positive reinforcement. They'll sooner take away your lunches or minimize your personal space than do anything at all to actually make you feel appreciated. -The bare minimum time off for holidays.
