Pros

You make friends right away, everybody is on your level and are your peers. The culture is fantastic, a lot of benefit perks (summer fridays, lots of days off, gym reimbursements etc)

Cons

Salaries are low but the experience makes up for it. Some management tough to deal with. Cut throat environment, but thats always the case in publishing due to elitist nature

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
