Pros

So many great people who cared deeply about their work and each other. Hands down, the best part of working at Jellyvision was working with people who were kind, creative, motivated, and really worked hard to support each other. I learned a lot there about how to be part of a team.

Cons

The worst part was the lost potential because it truly had something special and rare for a while. I've never seen a place have so many great individuals who loved what they did, were self-motivated, and supportive of each other every day. Then I witnessed all of that change within just a couple of years. There were many who went beyond their job descriptions whose contributions were unacknowledged and consistently passed up for promotions, while some of the most absentee and self-promoting managers got promotions and public accolades. A lot of the best left because there was no room for them to contribute in a meaningful way and many were eventually encouraged to leave because there were no growth opportunities for them.

Pros

Decent benefits, unlimited PTO. Talented and resilient people

Cons

Insecure leadership. Their business strategy does not give a strong sense of stability or solid direction. Their indecisiveness trickles down to direct managers, who are often hesitant to make decisions and quick to point fingers at their team members if things go wrong. In the beginning of the year there may be an idea of the direction, but later in the year priorities often shift in a reactive way. You can imagine the pressure this creates for employees who work hard to make initiatives succeed, only to find out the focus is changing again and they might get laid off as a result. It can feel like their business approach is to “throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks” repeatedly, and it seems like the company has been operating this way for several years. There are also many long-tenured employees who often default to “this is the way we do things,” even if it’s outdated, which can make it difficult and tedious to push for improvements. A lot of fresh, talented people end up leaving soon, probably because the company is too set in its own ways, fostering a culture that feels closed-off, cautious, and slow to innovate due to lack of strategic planning and low morale from repeated layoffs.
