Pros

Handful of incredibly wonderful people that are currently doing great things and will do even greater things beyond LP life. A level of autonomy in role. Handful of people wanting to and trying to make changes in the company's internal structure (failure comes with being shut down by 2 particular people in leadership).

Cons

Not sure who is leaving positive reviews for this place, especially contract workers. Terrible place for both full time staff and freelancers. Treats staff like non-human jigsaw puzzle pieces being auctioned off. Expects staff to work beyond 100% utilization across upwards of 4 projects at a time, (but not exceeding work hours of course!) which is unrealistic and usually means a 14 hour work day. Nonexistent work/life balance. It's a battle for a raise and when they finally give it to you, its a comical amount that the fight wasn't even worth it to begin with. Will pretend to recognize your value but never promote you even with the bargain they have on your under market salary. Awful CEO and terrible underling as sole reason why this place has such a ridiculously high turnover rate (20+ people in 1.5 years). Takes on supposed meaningful work and social justice projects while CEO is a virtue signaling, disconnected white man with a sense of self greater than the studio and its projects. Will take on (and reference to death) the Equal Justice Initiative project while ironically accepting an American Bible Society project publicly condemning LGBTQ community as "sinners."

Pros

Projects of a lifetime! Lovely coworkers.

Cons

Office is a constant mess. No overtime or comp days, despite expectations and hours banked. Salary is significantly lower than industry standards. Verbal abuse in the office is ignored and any reports are swept under the rug. Very little growth opportunities.
