Pros

Great culture, and very driven first-class coworkers, what more could you want? Management feels like friends, and inspires you to work as hard as they do! Responsibilities vary, and there is always the opportunity to take on more if you're willing! The best learning experience I've had of any job I've taken since college, and I am finally able to say "I love what I do!" It's a very exciting time to work for CR. They have the industry knowledge, a passionate community following, and an extremely talented team with aggressive goals. I am lucky to be a part of CR!

Cons

A con could only arise if you weren't willing to work hard, and dedicate time to growing this company!

Pros

Amazing Brand, Beautiful offices. Really sells the experience of a company run by fans in looks. Good People.

Cons

Most of the excitement and energy for anime is outside of the engineering department. Our team was largely directionless and pivoted mercilessly with a focus on obscure business interests. Engineering is bottom of the totem pole at that time

Great culture when you have a great boss.

Not great for contractors as they have too many limitations not allowing them to contribute as widely.
