Pros

- Colleagues with shared anime passion. - 3-Day Hybrid - Amazing workplace team for in-office experience. - Dedicated ERG groups with good people.

Cons

- Power harassment - Overwork - Under-resourcing - Bad management - Burnout - Don't come here unless you plan to melt your brain with anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication. I am not exaggerating when I say if you love anime and work at Crunchyroll too long, you may develop severe mental health conditions. I am warning you. They can and do treat talent as disposable due to the strong brand love among young job seekers, and they find ways to remind everyone such as constant restructurings and abrupt mass firings. Is anime love really worth it? Is your mental and physical health worth it?
