Decent Benefits. Horrible Work Culture.

Pros

WETA is widely-known in the DC metro area because of its prestigious reputation. Free employee parking. A very generous retirement match.

Cons

WETA has been around for years...and thus, many employees have been around for years and have chosen not to evolve with the times. Outdated infrastructure (from the condition of the office building and studio to software systems used). Stale work culture with little room for professional growth and advancement. A "this is how it's always been done, so we aren't open to change" mentality. A "don't ask questions, just do as you're told even though it doesn't make good business sense" mentality. Definitely not a place you want to go to if you are looking to grow your career or are an agent for change.

WETA is stuck in a rut

Pros

Casual dress code, free covered parking, and 401K matching

Cons

VPs/supervisors are very critical, don't seem to realize they aren't perfect, and don't appreciate subordinates. No company perks for the low salaries, and annual "raises." Dated workstations and company culture tries to force a team atmosphere.
