Pros

- Bring your dog to work - Very nice office - Open space layout - Wonderful co-workers outside of management

Cons

- NO work-life balance if you are salaried; you are expected to work 50+ hours a week and are shamed for even taking your lunch away from your desk - Ideas are not valued when coming from "underlings." What was once a collaborative environment has become a place where you sit down, stare at your computer and keep your mouth shut. - They have replaced nearly all of the original leaders with people who do not share the values the company totes as its priorities. - Handbook claims 'Unlimited Time Off,' but it is not true; sick days, bereavement days and vacation days are grouped together, so HR can come to you and say "you've taken too much time" whenever they see fit. - If you want to go back to high school, this is the place for you—constant drama. - Say it with me: Nepotism

Pros

I am an artist and I get to do an art-related job. The schedule is flexible when things pop up. I get health insurance and 401k and a lot of free food, and there is free gym access in the office building. The people I work with are all generally very cool, friendly, and/or fun to work with.

Cons

The pay rate is below the industry standard for production artists. I am not able to afford a place of my own. I live with my parents and I work another job to supplement my income. I am basically surviving and able to pay all my bills, but I would not be able to live a full life on my own with the pay rate as it is now. The work culture portrays itself as progressive and inclusive place but it is the typical corporate toxic environment.
