      Pros

      Laidback work environment, casual atmosphere, good location, offers great experience wearing multiple hats to recent grads. Opportunity to make nationally + internationally based high profile contacts.

      Cons

      Low pay, disorganized management, tenured employees are not open to innovative new ideas, lots of territorial disputes and infighting, all white male leadership with terrible pregnancy policy and not great insurance options.

      Pros

      There were a lot of changes happening for the 2026 season of SXSW and everyone worked extremely hard to kick what felt like a brand new festival.

      Cons

      The seasonal months are too short, starting in January and ending at the end of March required too quick of on boarding and navigation.

      Pros

      get to work with some wonderful people

      Cons

      High turnover due to poor leadership with no direction lead by unknowledgeable and ungrateful management Inappropriate workload, expectations and boundaries Poor benefits and compensation Stressful office environment Don't be fooled by the brand or its potential as it has a poor local reputation for many reasons other than it's subpar operation and lackluster production. Those who work here are unhappy and are often disrespectful to their peers, contractors and the local community. I recommend avoiding wasting your time and dignity.
