JV is a wolf in a sheep's clothing

Pros

Medical/Dental/Vision benefits Free food You can bring your dog to work

Cons

Jellyvision presents itself as a fun place to work and that they care about their employees. However, they are stretched way too thin, don't hire enough people, and then point fingers and their employees when thing go astray. The work/life balance is terrible and those that work there seemed are stressed. In addition, I've seen leadership make grave errors with their employees and then fire them with no warning, due to their own failures. There are other places like JV in the city that truly care about their employees.

NOT for Everyone

Pros

Friendly culture that really has a creative touch. Quirkiness and Differences are embraced. If you play an instrument they have a great band. The office is extremely casual, sweat pants are encouraged. If you're in a role and it turns out not to be for you, they'll create a new role that you like better. I've never seen another company that will do that.

Cons

I can't put a finger on what made working there so bizarre, but I think it had something to do with just how PG their company culture was at all times. I felt like I was working on a playground surrounded by children who turned a blind eye to red flags in leadership, strategy, and product to ensure the "kind" and "funny" culture was kept around. They recruit based on personality and not necessarily experience and there are A LOT of leaders that should not be managing people or departments. No one was held accountable for HUGE mistakes made through out the year and missed deadlines. As with most companies like this, there is definitely an "inner" crowd and others.

Pros

-Very friendly, fun coworkers -Cool office with endless snacks -A lot of flexibility working from home and taking time off, the work/life balance is the greatest perk of this place and they're serious about it

Cons

The company boasts that they're transparent and spent all of Covid talking about goals they wanted everyone to hit in order for us to stay afloat. Goals were hit despite extraordinary measures, everyone worked themselves to the bone to keep Jellyvision alive during a pandemic, and then they did a secret layoff without telling the company. When it came out that the layoff occurred (only because a handful of brave employees spoke out about it), they said it was "performance based," which absolutely was not the case. This came after a layoff the year before that was also handled brutally, and which was promised never to happen again. At the end of the day, while they pose themselves as "different" and "the cool ones," they're just another corporation working their employees until they deem them unnecessary. Everyone understands the consequences of Covid, and layoffs may have been imminent, but they purposefully let employees work for them through the busy season while CONSTANTLY reassuring everyone their jobs were safe and then cut those employees with little thanks and assured them they would be "fine" with a 2 weeks notice in the middle of a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Truly comical cutting people's health insurance while your mission is getting people insurance. Enter at your own risk.
