Amazon is not a great place to flex being a creative’s creative - it’s very business focused and strat driven and the processes and people are robotic. If you go Amazon, take it for the money and get as much as you can. Limited PTO and holidays, company-value driven to the point of cult, thicccc processes that get in the way of joy/play/expression/fun (which kills creative imo). Lots of ppl do it, idk how I had to leave.

Mustache was more of a video post production house until they were acquired by tech consultancy, Cognizant. Now I believe they’re trying to become a full-service agency.

Most of that’s true but it was never a video post production house. Always created content through all phases. A few years in creative talent was brought in-house.

Run away from Amazon as fast as you can. CD1 hit all the points right on the head.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
