Pros

exposure to a range of interesting clients

Cons

Three separate rounds of layoffs within 18 months — a clear reflection of unstable leadership and short-term thinking. They hire aggressively when busy, then cut teams just as quickly when work slows down. There’s little long-term planning or commitment to employees. The workload is extreme, with late nights and weekend expectations treated as standard. Boundaries aren’t respected and burnout is common. If you’re considering joining, be aware: you may gain experience quickly, but don’t expect stability or sustainable work-life balance.

Pros

Some talented people, nice studio.

Cons

Lacking cohesive leadership team and business acumen at the highest level. Multiple layoffs where made soon after a hiring spree. Some good people still left but would not recommend.
