Pros

Great CEO (Paul Buccieri), Great health care package, Great office location, Great perks like free yoga & meditation as well as flu shots and physicals in-office

Cons

Company is not great at big idea planning. They'll go all in on restructuring the company so they can have their own studio space and act like a production company, or creating a team to pitch sales ideas. But within a year they've decided it's not working and abandon it, which leads to wasted time and work at best, and layoffs at worst.

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.
