Avantages

Decent pay & compensation, Nice co-workers (non-management)

Inconvénients

This place is you typical small team micromanaging model. From an artist point of view, we have to face a boss that doesn't understand anything about art but tries to use his personal "feelings" to art direct. The short time I worked there, we constantly changed project directions, color palettes, character designs on a daily/weekly basis. The upper management is very paranoid and clueless most of the time, so they try to make art changes, and asks you to work long hours without pay. I don't think they are bad people in any way, they just need to be able to trust an art director and let the artists do what they are hired for. I agree with the above. During the interview, they would render the company to be this new, young, quirky place for young people to grow their career. It's NOT! I won't recommend any young artists because they are just trying to take advantage of your inexperience in work environment and your passion for a new job. People are attracted by all the talk at the interview and would quit in months. I only know 1 or 2 people, other than management that stayed for more than 1 year.

It's a great honor to work here in Marcopolo Learning. Everyday feels like a new day that I always learn something new about the world, the nature and ourselves. There're so many talented people who work really hard everyday and passionate about their jobs, thus, we have such an amazing product that kids around the world can explore and learn. It's always a pleasure to talk to designers and artists, we share and learn from each other everyday! Justin is an excellent boss, he helped me with my working visa so that I have the opportunity to work here in the US, even when I went through some really rough time during that time, he and HR provided all the support I need. Although the headquarter moved to London, the art team has been supportive to me the whole time. They tried everything they can to make sure that belong to the team, which I'm grateful for it! Since the company moved to London, all the projects that I've been working on have been creative, fun and educational. I see myself has grown up a lot from past few years, it was a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to some more incredible adventures.

Sometimes you may need to work on urgent tasks with strict deadline, it's quite a challenge, however, you will gain new skills and knowledge from these tasks.
