hmm... not sure i follow monkeyshine. but then again i was up until 2am, am running on little sleep and jacked full of dayquil.
i worked for macrovision in their user experience department so i guess that would be considered a "non-agency" job. there was a marketing team but we did not work with them. other than those jokers there were no creatives in the entire company aside from the I.As. it was cool. had a ton of perks. we were kind of our own entity not associated with the company, but the team whom everyone came to when something needed to look pretty and function well.
really... you can't decide until you go in there and check shit out. ask for a tour. look at the workspace, the desks, the computers, the people. go to the lunchroom and look for the little things. free snacks, soda for a quarter, no roaches.
its like buying a pair of shoes. nike vs. new balance. they both look great in the box but until you try them on you don't know how they're gonna feel with all the glorious details of your feet.
fuck. i think i'm od-ing on meds.
