Pros

I've been working at Yowza Animation for a while now, and I can say it's probably one of the most supportive studios I've been with. Awesome time-off policies. There's even one paid day off for months without a stat holiday. I haven't experienced this anywhere else. The benefits package is pretty solid, good health and vision care coverage overall. The leadership team is approachable which I have never expected. I know people probably don't approach HR much because of the anonymous portal but I found her pretty nice and she really took the time to help me and send me resources. I can't say I've had any negative experiences yet.

Cons

While the team is great, remote work comes with fewer casual conversations or social events.
