Pros

Entry level salary pretty standard, great benefits with the company and tons of perks for working there. Lots of vacation time right off the bat.

Cons

Hard to move up, large company, many moves feel lateral and capped at a certain point because of the enormity of the company.

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.

Pros

Great People, wonderful industry, books!

Cons

It has become less about the product and the people and more about the profit. No room for advancement. More work, less people, less empathy.
