Pros

Very open-minded to new technologies, flexible and capable enough to adapt quickly. Great relationship with Microsoft may bring opportunities. VR / MR visual quality is high, thanks to it's many years of experiences in the architectural visualization industry. Colleagues are nice and supportive. Shanghai colleagues are hard-working and flexible. Seattle - Shanghai time difference makes 24-hour none stopping production possible.

Cons

Open office space, lack of acoustic separation, private conversation is hard to have.

Pros

Ability to grow within the company. Co-workers are genuine and fun to be around. Always willing to help when needed. Constantly learning new skills. Weekly check-ins with senior management to see how projects are going. Senior management has a interest in your career path. I'm always asked "what's next" and how they can help me achieve my professional goals.

Cons

Our processes are always changing and evolving. Have to be willing to adapt to change. Some projects have very quick timelines. Need to have the ability to problem solve to meet deadlines.

Pros

I recently had a chance to work with my former employer, Studio 216, as a client more than a year after leaving the company. I currently work at a design firm and we contracted S216 to complete several rendering graphics. I was encouraged to see many of my previous concerns about my former role and the structure of the company were beginning to be addressed. For example, more levels of management and support staff had been inserted into the company structure to help manage deadlines, client correspondence, and more tedious technical tasks such as file prep and internal correspondence. The structure did not seem totally worked out, but was definitely a step in the right direction. I also appreciated the additional framework of clear deadlines and add-service agreements. When I worked for Studio 216, I often felt that timelines and contracts were out of my control as a project manager, which made it difficult to predict/control my own workload. This appeared to be much less of a problem now.

Cons

As a client I could tell there was still some level of disorganization in terms of communication and roles/responsibilities, but it was clear that many more systems were in place. I hope that these changes translate to a more direct feedback loop between project managers and those managing marketing, staffing, and finances, as this chain of communication was not functioning well when I was employed at Studio 216.
