The people you work with are mostly young and driven. Work from home option.

- HR and upper Management one of the worst I have ever experienced - Level ups and comp increase heavily depended on how well you cuddle up to HR or upper Management - frequent late nights and weekend work - no transparency for anything from Level ups to why certain Studios are preferred over others
