Pros

Good benefits Focus on diversity (DEI) Extracurricular Activities Good Projects Impressive Office

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment. Micromanaging to its extreme. Often worked overtime without getting paid in contrary to firms policy. Inappropriate remarks and comments passed by managers. Management plays favoritism . The firm has a huge focus on DEI, YET discrimination exists within studios. The firms "values" are not practiced within the studios. There is no empathy what so ever. The work environment has a negative effect on mental and physical health. For someone who is looking for a healthy work environment - THIS ISN'T THE PLACE
