The perks and benefits made up for incompetence and poor decision-making at the executive level.

Downhill since merger

Business Outlook

Pros

Passionate coworkers, interesting work, hybrid system with meals

Cons

Had a lot of issues that got worse after merger. Horrible communication between the different departments. Contractors weren't being paid in a timely manner. Benefits that got taken away without warning. Horrible communication from upper management. Useless meetings. Business jargon that people see through. Layoffs where middle management wasn't notified who was being let go, which created a massive logjam of work for everyone else. Some longtime employees getting fired due HR to not filing papers correctly. Underpaid compared to the market, but since you love anime, you want to work there. Spending a lot of money on a fancy office, despite workers being underpaid. Hard to get promotions. I've been here a long while and saw the different acquisitions. Each one, the company lost a bit more of its soul. I left when I couldn't take it anymore and immediately found a better paying job with a better title.

Pros

Great benefits, competitive salary, abundant time off, plentiful sick days, and a ton of perks both personal and professional. It doesn't get any better as long as you're willing to work hard and meet deadlines. We're all equally dedicated and enjoy working long hours to serve our fans.

Cons

There are no cons for me personally.

Crunchyroll Response

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.
