Pros

Completely remote. Good peers. That's it. Stop counting.

Cons

AI is killing the industry. This app isn't essential, accountants can handle the projects in spreadsheets without the needs of this software that isn't the leader anyway. This software is just for US productions and most of the productions are running overseas. The CEO decided to bring investors who wants their money back and the profits are you going down in the last 2 years, so the math isn't good, do more with less. Layoffs of 30% of the company in 2024, no salary increases in the last 2 years, new HHRR manager, previous one was fired. They had good times during pandemic, but now is dying this software, this industry. Again no need to pay for this software.

Thank you for the feedback. While we appreciate your perspective, there are some inaccuracies we would like to clarify. First, we have provided salary increases across the board to our employees every year, and the past two years were no exception. Second, while we did indeed have a shift in our strategy to adapt to the industry downturn, this was the first time in our history that we had to release some members of our team. It is important to note that your numbers do not reflect reality. It was an incredibly difficult decision to make, as we had some amazing, dedicated people working for us. As with most organizations, it is vital to stay focused on the evolving market. Failing to do so would be a disservice to our customers, employees, and investors. We have a strong culture and a strong offering, which is reflected in our 4.7★ Glassdoor rating as of today. We are excited about the future. I welcome a conversation to provide even further transparency, so I strongly encourage you to reach out.

Pros

During my time at the company, I had the chance to work with some truly talented and dedicated people. I gained valuable experience and took pride in the work we accomplished together.

Cons

After nearly a decade of commitment, I was laid off during a company-wide reduction due to an industry slowdown. The way it was handled was deeply disappointing. The layoff was announced over a brief Google Meet call where no one was allowed to ask questions or say anything at all. It felt incredibly cold and impersonal. After giving so much of my time, energy, and loyalty, it was devastating to be let go in such a distant and dismissive way. It made me feel like all those years of contribution meant very little in the end.
