Pros

Fairly considerate about work/life balance and very supportive of pursuing getting your license and certifications. Hourly Salary for most positions with straight overtime.

Cons

Extremely strict on hours on your time sheet if you are an hourly-salary employee(as most are). Extremely stingy on buying things for employee benefits. Depending on which studio you are, in you may either love who you work with or can't stand it.

Pros

Direct managers within the office are nice people. Colleagues are also nice. Opportunity for career growth if you stick around long enough. Some interesting projects.

Cons

*USA offices * Decision-makers at the top of the chain get to have the benefits of remote work (employees remotely work-sharing across offices) but do not allow employees to do the same (if you’re working with a completely remote team you must still come into the office). Despite having proven through the COVID-era that employees can successfully work remotely senior leadership is planning a full return to office 5 days/wk. Lousy healthcare benefits, below-avg compensation. Employees with less than 40 hrs/wk of project work are forced to create technical documents to justify charging to company time when the root cause is the firm not winning projects.
