Pros

There are a handful of very strong artists. Learning from them and watching them work their magic is a perk of the job for sure. Compensation is competitive. Relaxed time off policy.

Cons

I've worked here for over two years, and I can assure you this is no longer a Design and Animation company, it's an activism company. It's gone from having a relaxed, creative culture, to being a full-on performative woke racist company within the past year. I've never seen a company's culture degrade as quickly as this one. They even brought a well-known racist speaker as a guest recently and spammed people on every single Slack channel throughout the entire day to join the hateful presentation. "Bring all your loudest politics to every single meeting" is the new motto, this company has one of the most undisciplined Slacks I've ever seen, so forget about focusing on your work, it's activism 24/7. Also, If you are a man or look white (even if you are middle eastern, jewish, or whatever) get ready to be thrown under the bus at every opportunity so that the spineless, self-serving bunch at the C-Suite and top-ranking creatives can score some woke points to protect themselves or advance their own careers.

Pros

Incredibly talented people and a genuine culture of craft. Exposure to top-tier brands and lots of freedom to do great work.

Cons

The studio can be a burnout factory. High expectations and constantly shifting priorities often lead to unsustainable workloads. As the company has grown, the increasing layers of C-suite leadership can sometimes feel disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the work and the pressures faced by teams.
