Anyone here attended? If so, I'm considering applying and would like to know what your experience was.
- zaven0
i have been there 2 years
was a nice experience, even better if you come from outside italy i think.
- glint0
didn't like it there at all, but, its 3 - 4 years ago and in those days it was a big mess there. they didn't know witch direction to go to. also everyone i know who went there wasnt euphoric about it. the quality of the graphic department is very pover.
- zaven0
yeah, graphic department was and still is messy.
but if you just come out from school is a nice place to go.but dont expect to be in one of the best studio in the world, as someone there think that is!
anyway things are changing there, and maybe is not the best moment to go there.
wait beginning of next year if you want to apply.

- Xrtions0

- ricstultz0

Hey All,
I am in the Interactive deparment right now, it's cool. Each department is very different, and should come here for trial before making up your mind. Marco (Zaven) - Andy C says hello.
- ricstultz0
yeah it totally says that all applicants need to be 25 years old or younger... on the application part of their site.
no shit, that sucks.
why? is my question.
- JGL0
They want people under 25 because they are interested in what the next generation of creatives are thinking, and to get use of people before they get established.
- ricstultz0
Yeah, but I'm 26 and this would be an ace opportunity....
- zaven0
marco says hello to interactive ;)
- JGL0
Don't tell anyone but they have been known to be flexible. Shhhhhhh.
- raiden0
i'm considering applying for their internship program as well.
how long before you know you've been accepted after the trial period?
- ModernScience0
You don't have to be 25 or younger, it's a general rule that can be broken.
Having a friend on the inside helps with this problem.
Or, you have do a bit of sweet talking as well as have interesting work.
tip: fabrica loves inflated egos and gives little reward to "nice people"... be a dick, they'll love you for it. It's italy for christ sakes, get used to it.

plus there are some sick mountains an hour away... It's a nice part of the world to live whatever you do there. I miss it.
