Pros

no pros at all, be warned this studio has major cultural and professional problems.

Cons

A vile group of employees that management turns a blind eye to and actually encourages back stabbing, bullying . The most negative work environment I have ever seen in any industry. With supervisors that believe in making anyone that is a threat to them look bad as publicly as they can to keep the herd inline. It is not uncommon to see fights and racist behaviour but because they are “talented artists” they can get away with anything, when they’re not even that good. Most of the artists that stay there are only there because they have no other choice, bottom feeders of the industry as almost every studio pays more and MUCH bettter pipeline tools.

Pros

Working here really clarified my own value and helped me realize I deserve better.

Cons

This environment thrives on desperation. If you have *any* other option, take it. The company culture hides behind “we’re a family,” but in practice it’s dysfunctional and top-heavy. Senior staff reap the rewards while junior employees are expected to be blindly loyal—and that still won’t protect them from being the first cut when times get tough. **Note to Job Seekers** Read the reviews carefully: many five-star posts feel generic, while lower-rated ones share specific experiences. Trust the detailed feedback.
