Pros

Everyone is very friendly and easy to approach, nice environment to work in, the animating is really straightforward and simple to get adjusted to.

Cons

No opportunities to progress to a senior role even after working for a number of years. Animation is limited to realistic Facial and Body mocap data, hardly any opportunity to learn and train in more creative stylised keyframe animation.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Pay is not too bad Free health insurance that covers everything Some of the people are nice

Cons

Work is not divided in a sensible way Can end up without any assigned work for months, have to find things to do Even without assigned work, employees are expected to perform as well as people who have assigned work Some people have a really big ego and can't stand being questioned or criticized

My best role in the industry yet

Pros

I am treaded like an adult. I have a lot of freedom to work on things that I see as a priority. Level is not as important as skill. I started as an L2 and was taken seriously by L6+ when I needed to champion something. And I have since been promoted- possibly in part to them seeing me step up. Great pay and benefits. Full remote option is nice. My team is multinational, I wouldn't get as much from being in office as some other teams might.

Cons

It's fast paced. If you are okay with that, then it's maybe not a con. But I suspect a new season every quarter and patches every two weeks on Fortnite is a faster pace than some people want. I have seen directors ask for changes on unrealistic timelines, but not force them through when told it's not possible.
