Vantaggi
You get to be a part of something really exciting and unique. I loved being on set for the filming of games, meeting so many talented people, and learning more about motion capture. Free games and swag. They seem to treat their higher level employees very well. Good work/life balance. Basically, if you are able to find a stable position there, it is probably much easier than being entry level.
Svantaggi
As a production assistant, management was very cavalier with hiring and firing. I was there for one year and watched at least 5 PAs be hired then let go within weeks or months, sometimes for things as simple as having the wrong personality or not learning fast enough. They tell you during the interview that they're happy to help newcomers learn, however in reality they get frustrated when you haven't picked up a completely new task immediately with almost no training. Talking to one manager in particular often was very stressful because they were quite harsh and rude at times. I have a disability and was warned by coworkers not to tell management, which I find concerning. Employees should be able to trust their employers to support them.
