Pros

Fun project and some friendly people.

Cons

I should had researched them better before taking the job. Yowza was a well known studio in the Toronto animation industry, but this is a different studio. The original Yowza that worked on the feature films supposedly dissolved a few years ago. Recently Heather Walker acquired the name and opened a new studio. Although the project I work on is a fun, the studio itself is hands down the most disorganized and poorly managed place I have ever seen. Some departments are barely working while others are in constant crunch mode. It is stressful to say the least.

just for clarification. Yowza Animation is owned by Heather Walker and the company you are referencing. Yowza Digital (Switch Animation) is owned by Pete Denomme

Pros

Great looking show and decent location.

Cons

The reason I decided to write this review is the infuriating review bashing any criticism and denying that anything is wrong with the company. This was without a doubt written by the management / family and only illustrates their level of delusion. I have worked for many studios over the years and am no stranger to crunch-times, but when crunch-time becomes the norm then it's time for reflection. Considering a crazy schedule, extreme stress, mandatory unpaid overtime and no time for social life "normal" is very, very, very sad and speaks volumes about the reviewer.
