Pros

New SEA MD is decisive. He is also trying to fix the culture, back to the kindness and accountability environment under the previous English gentleman MD eight years ago.

Cons

Need to remove the newer lazy and toxic employees in the lower ranks. They go for long smoke breaks, refuse to take accountability and constantly badmouth their managers and management . Tried to recruit me to be part of their group. Recent retrenchement exercise remove half of them but another few still remain.

Pros

I worked on the Content Creation team which is primarily made up of contract employees. Work is remote, but plenty of opportunities to get together in office and meet other people and socialize afterwards. Everyone on the team is great to work with, there are efficient systems in place and it is a well-oiled machine! I've done two contract rounds with them and am looking forward to my next one.

Cons

No opportunities to convert from contract to staff. There are a lot of things that aren't available to contract employees that are only available to staff (certain meetings, resources, etc). Contract employees are limited to 18 months, and then are required to take a year off.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
