Pros
Working at EP, you work alongside, and often directly with, the top entertainment companies in the world... for now. The legacy of the company they have been and the role they have played in the industry still carries a lot of weight.
Cons
Where to start? The place is a bureaucratic nightmare, and you will receive conflicting directions directly from your boss's boss's boss's boss and your boss's boss's boss. Meanwhile, your direct supervisor will tell you not to listen to either boss because they don't know what they're doing (which is true.) Honestly, the management team at Entertainment Partners is one of the most baffling systems I've ever worked in... they seemingly promote people who CAN'T do anything into leadership positions. Sort of a "those-who-can't, teach" only "those-who-can't, manage" strategy. As a result, you'll sit in meetings and have your job explained to you on a weekly basis by people that have never come close to doing anything like it. Your feedback will not be listened to on initiatives decided by these people, and if you share feedback regardless, you will be perceived as a problem child next on the cutting block for the near-constant layoff cycle. You'll constantly be told to "put the client first", but severely reprimanded if you don't actually put the company first. For clients? Clients are regarded as constant whiners who don't "get" the software or process and/or don't understand their own needs. This company took a huge downturn once it stopped being employee owned. Its days are very numbered as a power player in the industry.
