Crunchyroll reviews

- Tokyo office culture feels very conservative-Japan

Senior management is toxic, and doesn't trust each other. After the merger, most former Crunchyroll senior management are gone -- it's almost all ex-Funimation people at the top. They are behaving as if the axe will fall and they don't want their name associated with any decision (may become a self-fulfilling prophecy). Things are addressed only when something breaks down (failure), and little is done to prevent failure. As a result, teams/departments are siloed and are incentivized to not work together. If your job involves having to work with other parts of the business, good luck. The ones that get ahead are the ones that burn the candle at both ends and do what senior management says and doesn't ask questions. ICs are stuck doing the work only to have management look like it was their idea all along. CR is growing mainly because of the work of ICs and the passionate fanbase. Environment allows for toxic individuals to thrive (use your imagination). Near-zero career development -- management doesn't want to look like they're spending on anything other than what will increase sales. High turnover -- hard on morale, and it's hard to know what's been done before.
