Pros

A lot of nice people and positive attitudes for the most part. Free lunches catered.

Cons

Although everyone at the workplace was polite and pleasant, this is a very radical leftist social-agenda-driven company that could make any employee not totally enthusiastic about those agendas feel uncomfortable. This company presents themselves as fair, open-minded, and accepting of all people, but they are all about diversity hiring. I personally observed someone in an upper position openly talking about making their hiring decisions, based not on merit or experience but based on race and lifestyle. I also observed a situation in which a perfectly good candidate for a job opening was dismissed out of hand, and in private discussion the reason given for dismissal was not the candidate's qualifications, but the candidate's religion. Despite presenting themselves as a very pro-woman-female-driven studio, my observation was female employees given all the public exposure, and a backbone of male employees doing much of the internal heavy lifting and decision making on projects behind the scenes.

Pros

Passionate coworkers, interesting work, hybrid system with meals

Cons

Had a lot of issues that got worse after merger. Horrible communication between the different departments. Contractors weren't being paid in a timely manner. Benefits that got taken away without warning. Horrible communication from upper management. Useless meetings. Business jargon that people see through. Layoffs where middle management wasn't notified who was being let go, which created a massive logjam of work for everyone else. Some longtime employees getting fired due HR to not filing papers correctly. Underpaid compared to the market, but since you love anime, you want to work there. Spending a lot of money on a fancy office, despite workers being underpaid. Hard to get promotions. I've been here a long while and saw the different acquisitions. Each one, the company lost a bit more of its soul. I left when I couldn't take it anymore and immediately found a better paying job with a better title.
