Pros

The Creative Directors were very easy going, demanded excellence in visual direction. They had production toys galore! Large green screen, lights, c-stands, & a few unique toys like used car assembly robots. They have good working relationships with local agencies; Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, AKQA, ATTIK, Pereira & O'Dell to name a few. The creative direction was very high end, in look, style, concept, & execution. Both a production & post creative studio so. Very easy going, nice staff to work with & a ping pong table. The projects I assisted with were very fulfilling and merited well earned hard work. Apart for client projects they also stressed IP collaborations & proposal work.

Cons

Since it's a start up & staff was small, and they took on numerous projects at once=LONG hours, & very tight deadlines. They still have to figure out their payroll system, it took me several times nagging the office manager/producer about my invoice/paycheck. Sometimes it felt like they lost track of their staff's life outside of work. I still have to give them credit since they only opened a year before.

Pros

Some nice people come through Autofuss to work. There are nice amenities in the workplace, but they are intended for the client.

Cons

Owners and EP do not treat employees and contractors respectfully as human beings. People put in at times 70+ hours/week (no overtime or comp time given). Workers have said that they are fine to put in the extra time but it is not acceptable when there are no thank you's said. Management is very secretive.
