Pros

StudioBinder created a welcoming environment where the opinions and creative suggestions of its employees were taken with the utmost seriousness. Although the workload could be heavy at times, management was always willing to collaborate with staff in finding better ways to reduce stress and increase workflow. This is a company at the intersection of technology and creativity, and the elements of both worlds help to foster an innovative workspace. Overall the experience was satisfying, and I'd recommend it to those interested in film, video, project management and branded content.

Cons

Sometimes the estimated completion time of a project would challenge an employee. It would be difficult to complete it in the desired amount of time. However, the management team are effective communicators, and would work with the employee to find a process that will meet the desired deadlines while not overworking them.

Will not pay you for your time or work

Pros

They have a great office in the We Work building in downtown Santa Monica

Cons

They will not compensate you for your time or work in their "trial run" despite promising to do so in writing and word. They will ignore your request for payment after you've dedicated your time and work to their company. It's worse than having interns, they use people looking for jobs in order to get free work disguising it as a "trial run". They pick your brain for strategies and ideas without compensation.

This is posted by an individual who was not hired by StudioBinder. Should be posted under "Interview Reviews" vs "Employee Reviews." It's normal for job candidates to interview unpaid or take on trial projects. Re: the Work - As you can imagine, candidates have a limited understanding of our content requirements within minutes of meeting us, and as a result, most of the work provided during their trial run is rather unusable. We couldn't possible scale our content this way; a short look at the frequency of our articles and videos should make this clear. As far as "picking a candidate's brain for strategies," this is a common part most any company's interview process and allows us to evaluate the candidate's understanding of their potential job duties.
