Pros

Wonderful, talented people to work with. Office is in a nice neighborhood. Company has a good office with a great full-sized theatre and throws some fun work parties. If any new projects ever started it would be a good place to work.

Cons

Very top-heavy with management, no new projects in a long while, don't treat employees with a lot of respect or provide career advancement opportunities. Client is a nightmare to deal with but as they are the only client they can get away with it. A lot of turmoil in the past 2 years...went from over 400 employees and many projects to barely over 100 employees and several projects. No job security, unless you're a senior executive. Opportunities aren't given to long-term, proven employees. Company shows no loyalty to their staff.

Pros

The Director was excellent to work with and communication clear. We skyped quite a bit and collaboration was fantastic. I was given quite a lot of creative freedom and trust! Pay was decent for freelance.

Cons

The downside of my pay was that HR communicated they had to pull funds from other freelancers pay to accommodate me...true or not I don't know, but it wasn't in anyone's best interest to share that in a negotiation...
