Pros

It's considered acceptable when my cat walks through my conference calls.

Cons

The Product team is driven primarily by fear. We seem to spend all our time pretending to make progress and waving ideas at leadership, but then decide not to test or launch anything with impact. The designers that do the work are good, but leadership is so afraid of change that they just hem and haw and spin in circles, all while quoting business jargon and operating principles and smiling. Half the team seems to have left in 2021 already. The developers seem capable, but the codebase is so tangled and the teams so siloed that the results are on par with 2001 quality. Product leadership and the executive team can best be described as "jerks".

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.
