Pros

-Newer facilities for their LA office; screening rooms outfitted with a variety of the latest equipment to handle all the different clients' needs. -For the most part, a laid back environment. -They do hold company-wide meetings so everyone knows the latest of what's happening with the business (mostly just an overview). -Employee appreciation events/parties are quite nice

Cons

-Bringing up issues to supervisors go unresolved for months. -Very "title based". If you don't have a higher title, no one is listening to you. -Experience doesn't matter unless you're higher up on the ladder. My past experiences & knowledge seemed to fall on deaf ears when troubleshooting issues. Everything had to be discussed with all departments before moving ahead. Not a great system when there's a time crunch. -Speaking of time crunch, there seems to be a little lack of planning in some departments. A lot of work is rammed through at the last minute/extremely close to deadline for some reason. -Constantly hiring & firing/letting go of employees. Seems like the company is always looking for someone better. -Had a new direct supervisor brought in that knew little to nothing about the industry. I ended up training them for about a month. -Has a saying "One company, two locations" but I found very basic cooperation between the two. Very poor communication in the department I worked in.

Pros

Small startup company feel. The owners are nice.

Cons

I hired in when the technical direction was to transition from a Microsoft shop to a python shop. The team consisted of developers drawn from Deluxe and Imax representing many years of practical industry experience in digital cinema key distribution systems. The working environment was highly collaborative and the team was eager to explore new technologies. Flex time was great. However, all that changed when several Technicolor employees were hired. In six months, my manager was fired and replaced with the Technical hires, and flex time was curtailed. Six months after the management change, the development was out-sourced to foreign countries, the team laid off, and the technology flipped back from a python to a Microsoft C# shop. UK based company doesn't understand CA labor laws - poor health, vacation, sick leave benefits. Owners didn't understand the technology or team they had.
