Pros
Great rates. Kind people. Fair deadlines. Awesome Projects.
Cons
A tiny bit disorganized but the artists don't pay for it, they often extend the project so it doesn't fall on the artists now.
Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share feedback! We appreciate hearing about your personal experience. We are glad to learn that you enjoy working with your team members and that you love the projects! Our development team works hard to bring in high-caliber projects. Additionally, we care very deeply for our employees and are doing our best to hear what challenges our artists are facing, and how we can streamline processes for efficiency. We've recently launched a Transparency Committee whose goal is to foster a work environment where employees feel open to feedback based on trust and respectful communication. We will use the findings to make positive changes in the company.
