Pros

As with any large company, it was clear they had tremendous resources to work with. In the marketing dept especially, they had solid budgets and a repertoire of popular authors to work with. Friendly environment.

Cons

Not a lot of interest in changing the system, reliance on previous methods of doing things. A very established, corporate-heavy culture.

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.
