An amazing group of folks with an ambitious vision

Pros

Great perks: catered lunches and dinners four days a week, free snacks and beverages (Rockstar, Monster, and Guayaki woo hoo!), public transportation stipend, game room, gym within the office, massages provided on site once a week. Strong sense of community. Work is challenging but rewarding. Don't feel micromanaged. Plenty of opportunities for growth if you're willing to seek them out. Culture emphasizes team work.

Cons

Office location is congested (right in the heart of Union Square). Company is growing rapidly and changes happen often so flexibility is a necessity.

Pros

Ellation has an ambitious vision and strategy. It's exciting to be a part of an organization taking on challenges as nascent and disruptive as Ellation. Given the scale of the company there are lots of opportunities for growth and supporting progress outside of your core scope of responsibilities. Working in media/tech is exciting and it's always inspiring to meet people who love our products like Crunchyroll.

Cons

The ambitious goals come with some challenges like technical complexity as well as cultural transformation.

Pros

Great work environment, great perks, great people. Flexible, and in my department, management cares about the things that actually matter without concern over frivolous factors.

Cons

Growing company so it is going through growing pains, but it comes with the territory. Constant flux, so it is difficult to get settled. But that should simmer down soon.
