-The managers have NO IDEA what they are doing, but have a high sense of entitlement.
-My manager has lectured and belittled me on multiple occasions. Probably the #1 reason I quit. Other people made weird comments towards me, out of their own anger problems and complaining that had nothing to do with work. Not a good work place vibe.
-There is ZERO communication between departments as well as within departments.
-The pay here is HORRIBLE. I was lead to believe that this was the industry standard, but once starting at a new studio at the same position making SO MUCH more; I knew mOcean was the problem.
-The hours are SUPER INSANE. Once again, I was lead to believe this was normal, but I found out soon enough from other studios and colleagues that it is NOT. (of course hours change, but here it was with no warning and no care about you as an individual).
-People are severely OVERWORKED for the compensation and work hours. People taken advantaged of.
-For me, it was a misleading job with ever changing job duties.
Know your own worth, spend your time wisely, DONT WORK HERE. Quitting was the best thing I ever could have done and lead me to an amazing career at a thoughtful, fun and creative company. Everything I had thought mOcean to be, but wasn’t. Most people I knew and still know at mOcean aren’t happy there and also want to leave. Not a good sign. Their turnover is VERY HIGH for a reason.
