Great Film Library, Toxic Environment

Pros

Great film catalogue. Interesting work. Opportunity for quick advancement.

Cons

I left before the new CEO began and I've heard things are much better now, but working under the founder was a nightmare. Very high turnover, aggressive micromanagement, toxic/abusive environment, culture of fear and most employees were grossly undercompensated working in the most expensive city in the country. The last year I was there was incredibly difficult, at one point I was doing 5 different jobs (due to people quitting, being let go) without additional compensation. People were regularly moved to different departments without replacements so certain departments were routinely understaffed, underfunded and overworked. Such a stressful environment. I still have nightmares about it!

Pros

The culture has totally done a 180 degree turn from the company the founder created. It used to be toxic and turnover was high. They've hired a bunch of new executives from Google and helped course correct. COVID has also helped a lot with business and the future looks bright if we can continue to deliver value to customers

Cons

Benefits have come a long way since the founder left, but could still go a lot further (standardize parental leave across the company, 401k match, better health plans, etc).
