Still amazing.

Pros

Constant growth and learning it doesn’t slow down. Amazing culture and awesome workspace. Except for missing cheese sticks, the snack/food options are right on target. Very energized teams with aggressive goals. This is the place to be!

Cons

It doesn’t slow down. So many different methods of info sharing can lead a feeling of constant juggling. (Email, meeting notes, wikis, intranet, JIRA, document @s and hundreds of slack channels to monitor.)

Great until it wasn’t

Business Outlook

Pros

Located on the Sony lot, fun coworkers, amazing perks, great benefits, competitive pay structure. It started off with a great work life balance which quickly changed due to understaffing and horrible project management. Started as a place where everyone loved what they did and changed seemingly overnight. A lot of changes within my team and instead of handling them with care, I felt we were all on a sinking ship that only got worse.

Cons

Leaders who don’t care, disorganized processes that are outdated, favoritism, money being a motivator over work culture, making some people work more than others (uneven work division), and cutting some amazing benefits due to budget.

Pros

It feels cool to be connected to anime and all of the characters and stories. Employees are treated well, with good benefits and flexible time off. We also now get extra days off during the year, that usually extend other holidays for long weekends.

Cons

Work can be hectic and long hours are fairly regular given production and promotion schedules around the world. Communication can feel rushed and leadership is sometimes disconnected from the work that gets done daily.
