Pros

A job that pays you. A title that is well known. A company that is well known too. Great kitchen area. Met some really nice people while working here.

Cons

Terrible Micromanagement. One of the senior folks is a complete bully and does not trust in the artist's abilities at all. As a result everything is strictly monitored like in a criminal jail cell. No artistic freedom at all. Lighting decisions are very poor as it ultimately comes down to poor art direction with regard to lighting. In short the lighting art never looked so bad in any game I have worked on. Extreme crunch, 6-9 months in a year is spent crunching. Contract employees get treated differently and badly. Once you are a project term employee you are salaried and not paid by the hour. Which means you won't get any overtime if you work extra hours, also under the project term position you will not be eligible for any company bonus as well. Stay clear of this place. I am an experienced lighter with years of experience but I have never worked in a worst atmosphere.
