Pros

Amazing set of coworkers, very willing answer questions. Just by being around the office, you gain a lot of industry insight. if you take a proactive stance about what you want to do & which editors/departments you want to work with, there's a huge opportunity to customize your experience

Cons

For an editorial intern, the level of trust that you establish with an editor can make or ruin the experience... whether you get to edit manuscripts/work on exciting projects or just do database work/write readers reports

Pros

Great writing, Top tier production

Cons

The male director never asked me once how I was doing or offer any advice to calm my nerves (on my first production ever with them) which lead to a burdensome recording process.
