    Pros

    Raven has a low ego culture and is non-political. Generally when you're talking to someone, you're getting the truth. Super stable environment. No layoffs in the past decade +.

Great track record of success Madison is a low cost, but exciting city.

    Pros

    The culture at Raven is great. Compensation is good and while bonuses can be inconsistent based on performance of the product, they have generally been good over the past few years.

    Cons

    It is a demanding job. I work remotely and feel like I am constantly “on” and thinking about work.

    Pros

    People here are very collaborative and ready to support each other. Raven takes on a large variety of tasks, does so exceedingly well, and only very infrequently disrupts a healthy work-life balance, which is exceptionally uncommon. The company events have been fun too!

    Cons

    Distant creatives and executives can make unquestionable demands or pivots up to the day of deadlines and have the final call on seemingly anything, no matter how small. Office politics has influence over the direction of most features and projects.

    Raven is a great place to work. The pandemic has been tough for all of us, but there is a fantastic studio culture here, great people, and great benefits.
