Pros

Convenient neighborhood, well-equipped studio, lots of friendly workers.

Cons

I was offered a position here with their creative team with no interview, no meeting, no prior contact until one day, I was asked to start immediately. Upon arrival, I was introduced to no one, no tour, wasn’t told where the kitchen and bathroom was, no details on what I will be working on, no access codes/passwords to anything I needed for my job, nothing. The team provided very little feedback and very little work but seem to view it as the employee's fault. HR hired and had no idea what they're looking for and didn't lay out job responsibilities clearly. I was terminated without reason within 2 weeks. Fortunately, I didn't leave any belongings at the office because they flat out told me not to come in anymore. They were also unclear about the role. First, I was told it's a full time job, then after being hired, they dropped it immediately to only 24 hours a week. The office is in a nice location but the place felt very pretentious, cliquey, some people were so obviously fake, and it doesn't look like there's room to grow at all. I was left with a very poor first impression based on what happened. It's also a very open office; extremely crammed and distracting at every corner with absolutely no room to breathe. Good for contractors/freelancers that are ok with being terminated any time, not good for those who need stable work. IMO, it was not very professional.
