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.

Pros

I've worked at Ellation on the Crunchyroll side for 1.5 years. I love this company and all my co-workers. Some really smart, passionate and interesting folks. The comapny is profitable and growing quickly which translates into good benefits, a nice office, and more job security for employees. It still has a start-up vibe to it, which I like. We can pitch ideas and move pretty fast.

Cons

Still catching up to some of its fast growth - new employees, ironing out work processes, etc.
