Pros

This is a stable, successful studio that is growing in spite of an unprecedented global economic collapse. I don't mean that to sound insensitive to the situation elsewhere in the industry and the world, but it seems important to mention how strong and healthy the company is. Honest effort is being made to identify and improve areas where the company has problems. This is good to see and is being taken very seriously at all levels of management. I've been with the studio for a good amount of time and we've had our ups and downs, successes and failures. But seeing the company's leadership mobilize and respond to the coronavirus has been nothing short of stunning. The care and attention and creativity being given to the team is simply astonishing. The direct, steady, humane response from the executives is remarkable. I don't know if we're supposed to even discuss it, but the company isn't just taking care of its team members. It's also looking out for its wider community as well, taking care of folks who haven't been as lucky as us and who have been furloughed or laid off or otherwise displaced by the crisis. Not letting your neighbors fall through the cracks in an emergency is the kind of thing you don't really even think about asking for in a job, but there it is.

Cons

Be open about decision-making, especially when it will impact teams directly. We're mature enough to handle being exposed to the sometimes difficult reality behind tough choices. Don't let the loudest voices dominate discussions. Some of our most talented team members are quiet, contemplative, and slow to respond.

Many thanks for your observations, but more so for your continued service. We appreciate that you have remained with us through good times and bad. This pandemic is teaching all of us to be even more flexible and empathetic to the experiences of others, and we are doing all we can to keep everyone connected and engaged even though we are working apart. ~Amy
