Pros

Lots of nice people, free books, great on your cv

Cons

Still a lot of fallout from the merger and insecurity. Some managers are great, but others are bullies, there's a high turnover of PAs/secretaries due to pressure from senior managers

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.
