Really a Shame

Pros

Fun atmosphere. Some truly wonderful people.

Cons

What used to be a enjoyable place turned sour and soul-sucking. Everyone just smiles and pretends everything is wonderful. When business gets slow, everything turns into a panic and leadership's true colors come out. When people are being publicly shamed and crying multiple times a week, you know something isn't right. People deserve to be treated better.

Looks Can Be Deceiving

Pros

Amazing colleagues Great and positive atmosphere when management isn't around Fun team activities Fun clients and projects

Cons

You constantly feel like you're walking on eggshells around management, the vibe of the studio is solely based off of the mood of the "fearless leader" - and 9 times out of 10, the mood is horrible. Every other day someone is crying due to public humiliation, high stress, the fear of the public humiliation you know you are about to get from management, or because of tasteless and heartless comments made by management about creative work. The quarterly profit share that you are promised when you are hired is likely not to come your way. No room for growth. Turnover here is frightful - during my time at The Engine, I have witnessed MANY employees get fired and MANY unhappy employees leave due to management. No one employee gets treated equally.

Pros

Fun, dynamic environment. There's always a new client and project on the horizon, and the work might be very different than what you've done before.

Cons

High stress, at times. There are tight deadlines and sometimes projects take way longer than anticipated. If you're responsible, you might have to work late nights to get it handled.
