Pros

- ok worklife balance. I work 40hr/wk - everyone here is super passionate about anime and their jobs - unlimited PTO

Cons

- Senior management is horrible. A lot of nepotism in this company, surprisingly. - Total lack of growth opportunities. People don't rarely get promoted here. - I was shocked by how the lack of integrity from upper management working here. It's weird how corporate, soul-less and untransparent this company has become while still being so small.

Pros

Working in entertainment is fun, everyone is passionate and has a love for anime. The people are lovely.

Cons

Leadership is so disconnected, morale is low, work life balance is terrible for many of the teams. To make matters worse leadership decides to set new RTO mandate 3 days a week when many Crunchyrollers do not live locally by their offices and were hired remotely during COVID. We can already see the writing on the wall that leadership intends to use badge swipes into the office as a factor in performance reviews and bonuses. Crunchyroll is no different than any of the mega corps that do not value employee well being and constantly contradicts its own supposed core values of empathy in favor of filled desks. During our All Hands meetings leadership always ignores questions of actual concern raised by employees in favor of those of fake corporate optimism. I'm so tired of seeing how this company consistently chooses to not hear out the concerns of its employees.

Pros

Free lunch Only two days in office for now... Anime is the growth sector of entertainment

Cons

Analysts more capable than Directors No backup support for critical roles More consultants than FTE Crunchyroll has a serious issue hiring executives who provide no value while the knowledgeable employees drown. Money for audits but no money for more staff
