Pros

Remote work, Great projects, and enjoyed the work I did. People were nice, but will overwork you to death because its "remote work"

Cons

Most nights I worked until 1 am and they were still not satisfied. I couldn't even go for a run at my lunchtime without them messaging me asking where I was. I was constantly overworked with unrealistic short deadlines that they promised to clients. It was also stressful because people around me kept getting fired around me, even those who started recently with the company. I would say while I was there, I outlasted the person who hired me and I was only there for 8 months before they came for me. I was a salaried employee working from 7-1am, though they didn't force me to work those hours I felt pressure from the people around me getting fired, and they constantly messaging me past work hours saying how the project was urgent and needs to be worked on. I felt I lasted longer just because I was willing to put myself through brutal hours. Once covid hit that's when they fired me when it's the absolute worse time to be fired when all the jobs went on a hiring freeze. They don't care about you or your health they just care that you are fast and producing results. They also had an unlimited vacation policy but when you ask for a day off it was actually highly frowned upon. In my opinion, unless you are desperate for a portfolio piece just avoid this company.

Pros

It was great to work with a definite schedule and other people after many years freelancing, It a was fully remote job so I had the chance to be connected with very interesting people. I learnt a lot about the process of creating virtual images, I wish this collaboration (it was a maternity leave) could have lasted longer

Cons

Communication wasn't great. I felt at times expectations and tasks were not clear enough between the team. There was a lot of unnecessary back&forth before completing anything
