Irresponsible leadership concerned with their ego over results

Pros

decent perks and coworkers who like anime

Cons

notice how there’s mostly 1 star reviews sprinkled with vague 5 star reviews? managers here are incompetent and only look to hire for their ego. feels threatened if people have more skill. listen to the reviews here under 3 stars… there’s a reason most people leave after 1.5 years.

We're sorry to hear about your experience during your time with our Marketing team. Coworkers sharing your love of anime is unique and one of the most special parts of being on the Crunchyroll team. We're glad that resonated for you while you were with us. When you have a 1-star experience, it can feel like that must be true for everyone else as well. The reality is that since the acquisition in 2021, the challenges of unification can lead to some 1-star experiences and some 5-star experiences at the same time. We can assure you we are listening and learning and committed to creating as many 5-star experiences as possible.

Thank you so much for the kind review of your experience as a current Crunchyroll employee! We're glad to hear you feel well compensated and feel a deep connection to the anime fans we serve. The layoffs that occurred earlier this year as a result of the acquisition of Crunchyroll were a difficult experience. We learned a lot about team communication during the process and are striving to improve communications across the board for our teammates. Thanks again for your feedback, we hope your experience here will continue to be 5 stars.
