A stable, U.S. based YouTube production company - Chief Operating Officer Newscape Studios Employee Review

I joined newscape for the clucky's roblox game development. I set up the UI for the shop and cosmetics. It was easy work and I met some talented programmers on the project who I've been working with since. The pay was competitive and I'd do more work again if needed.

Was on contract so work didn't last forever.

- Great coworkers who are as amicable as they are talented. - Flexible hours for remote contractors

- Sub-industry standard pay - Prioritizes hiring via contracts to avoid providing benefits. - Contractors are hired on a week by week basis despite signing a contract to be with the company for several months with no guarantee that work or payment will be provided during that period. - As an artist you're given only one week to do a volume of work that most other studios give 2-3 months for which degrades the overall quality of the work you can do. You are forced to cut corners or work past 40 hours a week. - Not enough resources are given to help artists meet those deadlines such as proper visual development art for new locations or reference images that aren't from YouTube Let's Plays. - Trend chasing projects with little to no originality. - While not mandated crunch is basically mandated with the limited amount of time to do assignments.
