Caveat Emptor

Pros

- Great, intelligent, creative coworkers - Good if you're entry level - Jellyvision *may* still have a good reputation. Not sure about it after these layoffs.

Cons

I was not a part of the recent layoffs, but unless you want a foot in the door into tech, I wouldn't recommend working here. The company is wildly mismanaged, sales are down, the staff churn is incredibly high within the last year, and the gaslighting atmosphere is very unhealthy. But if you need to have something on your resume, go for it. Just brace yourself.

Great Work Life Balance

Pros

I love working with a great group of people. We don't take ourselves to seriously and we work hard. Work life balance is great as people come in around 10am and the office is cleared out by 4 or 5.

Cons

I've been at Jellyvision for over 4 years and the thing that bugs me more than anything is working hard with the team to build the company while a few at the senior level focus on just building up themselves. When I first started at Jellyvision I couldn't believe the effort that our CEO Amanda Lannert put into having every employee, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers and step children vote for her to be Chicago's Moxie CEO of the year. For those of you who don't know, these awards are determined by both public voting and a panel of judges. She won CEO of the year in 2014 and 2015 but the sad part is that several of the judges on the panel were Amanda's besties. It's hard to stay proud to work for Jellyvision when the person at the top is focus on serving herself and gaming the system.

Pros

-kitchen stocked with healthy snacks -casual dress -New building

Cons

-Culture- not as exclusive or welcoming as one may think. - Low Pay -Little Training and support- *Dependent on who your team lead is* -Co workers can be very cliquey and love to gossip over an internal communication channel. -Seasonality business: The product is very seasonal which can be concerning for other quarters that are considered off season to hit goals. -Hours aren't as flexible as they made them out to be in interview/ offer -WFH option seems to only be available to some employees -Recognition is always given to the same few people although their behaviors don't align at all with the values that JV prides themselves on. - Not as "open door"as they make it seem to be. -No transparent career path in regards to what you need to do to get promoted. - External hires tend to be confusing when someone is hired two levels higher and almost 25K more than you but have the same type of experience..
