Pros

Great list, great opportunities to meet and work with exciting authors. Lovely London office with a cheap canteen.

Cons

No progression, little autonomy, terrible pay, consistently working overtime because everyone does, no culture of openness or honestly, poor decisions made by senior management with no explanation or opportunity to feed back.

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.
