Pros

Great coworkers, good benefits, decent salary

Cons

Leadership is running scared, talking about being over headcount and no one getting enough done. Everyone is expected to do the work of at least two people. When people leave, there is no replacement. Only a few leaders acknowledge the work of their staff; most take all the credit. Much more time is spent documenting activity and writing endless reports than actually accomplishing anything productive. Policy is that it's safe to make mistakes and "fail fast," but reality is failure is not tolerated. Leaders don't communicate well or develop talent. Opportunities to advance have dried up.

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.
