Pros

Good team mates (engineers) Company has a good brand name among its customers

Cons

Prepare to be treated like a child, asked to work to meet crazy deadlines (that are set ignoring team estimates) and Sr leadership who stabs you in the back It’s a shame that employee engagement surveys are ignored (though they claim they are important) and paranoia is a company value. When you hire smart engineers expect them to see through the double talk. You either need to be a yes man or are ignored or targeted.

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.
