Pros

The audio division is the best work environment I’ve ever been a part of. Every manager I’ve had here values me as both a human & a hardworking contributor to the company. I’ve received nothing but support while working on my goals to gain new production experiences & enter more creative roles.

Cons

The rose of publishing is also its thorn. People are in it because they love it, which makes it extremely rewarding. However, it’s hard to know when to draw the line & separate work from life.

Pros

Good benefits, including vacation, personal, and sick days. Good work-life balance too.

Cons

I've never felt like my compensation has been fair for the work I put in. I can see why white people like the company, but as a POC, I want out. Way too homogenous, although they claim they are trying to fix lack of diversity.
