Pros

Pros? I don't know if there are many nowadays. Lunch is still free, and the new office space is decorated nicely. Prior to the shakeup, I met many of the most brilliant coworkers I'd ever had. They oozed talent, and there was little to none of that "office politics" culture that occurs at many startups. It was friendly, respectful, and I was personally proud of the products we were putting out on the mobile side, and the experiences we gave users on the Gaia Online side.

Cons

With new management this year, the vibe immediately became unpleasant. Exhibiting unabashed cronyism, new managers hired additional managers they'd worked with in the past to assist in gutting the company of its talent. Together, they've turned what was once a pleasant, enjoyable workplace into a humiliating grind to either drink the kool-aid and remain employed for another month, or just throw your hands up and openly apply for other jobs during work hours. I don't believe any of the remaining employees (sans management) are under the impression that positive change is occurring, or that Gaia will ever return to the intensely creative and unique studio it once was.
