Pros

-Fun area of town, lots of restaurants in the area. -Many of the artists who work there are great people.

Cons

Very poor management all around. The CEO is not a good CEO and does not have the skills or character to be in his position. He says one thing to his employees, but then his actions reflect the opposite. I have spoken to employees who worked at Brazen after I left, and we all agreed that there is something very shady about his character. He is disingenuous. While I worked there, he would often speak rudely and unprofessionally about other animation studios and other CEO's in the Dallas area. He is obsessed with his company appearing as #1 above the others, even though they are not. This shadiness does not only apply to the CEO, but also to his fellow management team. Beware. -I witnessed several members of the management team, on several occasions, being passive-aggressive and extremely rude to some of the editors and artists during meetings and group review sessions. This behavior is unethical, unprofessional and unacceptable in the workplace. -No opportunity for growth within the company

I am very sorry you did not have a pleasant experience at Brazen. You obviously have strong feelings regarding your time here, and we want to acknowledge those. At Brazen we believe it is imperative to have the right people in the right roles at all levels that are committed, and also fit our core values. We hope that when people come on as staff that they will work well within our culture and be with the studio long term. We want everyone at Brazen to grow into a leader of the company, and be a part of the success of the company now and the future. Sometimes it works out well, but unfortunately sometimes it does not. But regardless, in either scenario we want people to stay or leave having good feelings about the studio. That is one of our major goals as a company. Again, I am sorry this was not the case for you. That is regretful. Thanks so much again for sharing your experience. We are always striving to improve as a studio and as a management team. We truly appreciate all that have worked or working at Brazen now. Put simply, we truly love all Brazenites…past and present. And we absolutely wish you well in your future endeavors.

Pros

This company had some amazing employees and I truly made friends for life here. The projects were cool and exactly what you would want on your reel!

Cons

At this company, I worked an average of 70-80 hours a week and was told I couldn't work less. There was no work-life balance, and my mental health took a toll.
