Business outlook

Pros

Full remote, sometimes cool projects. Reasonable starting wage for entry level if you negotiate properly.

Cons

No room for growth or promotion, it's usually a dead end job. Toxic, uncaring leadership, although this depends on which project you're on. Since the NEP takeover, everything is hired as contractor with far worse benefits.

Not the best company to work for.

Pros

- Opportunity to learn new things. - They offer some basic benefits (401k, vacation pay). - The workstations are up to date (for the most part). - Access to most applications artists would need. - They have an IT department which is capable of dealing with most hardward/networking issues.

Cons

- Increasingly corporate mentality. - Low morale among artists. - Mandatory contract suggests they can fire/terminate employment for any reason and do not need to explain why and will not give notice until the day of termination. - Non-flexible work hours, and do not make exceptions for any reason. - They have a record of losing jobs in the middle of production, causing numerous unexpected layoffs. - Barely any real lunch options in a walkable distance from the studio. - At least one individual in "management" uses a lot of profanity and can be rather critical with the quality of work from the artists (lacking in tact).

Pros

Projects are fun. Producers have their acts together. They are respectful and realistic about over time, and also follow the laws regarding overtime.

Cons

If you're not a white dude be prepared to field some jokes about it.
