Pros

Positive uplifting people, exciting energy and creativity. Lots of room to grow as an artist. Very opportunity driven atmosphere. The owner is a smart visionary who works hard to not only improve current projects but find new ones. Art management is awesome, they quickly identify where art needs improvement, but deliver critiques in a positive way. Art Director has a proper 15+ years of good experience, sharp and also delivers critiques in a positive way. Team's have very high energy. New innovative ideas, or way to create art are encouraged. Double Helix provides whatever software you are comfortable using. Computer equipment always more than enough for the task. Nearly no office politics or negativity. Employees are encouraged and rewarded for thinking outside of the box. Where some local studios have an oppressive or suffocating / bullying atmosphere, Double Helix is the positive contrast to this. Great projects & people that deserve great success !

Cons

Sometimes far future plans / projects aren't always known.
