A Lot Changing but Great Opportunities

Pros

-You can thrive if you deal with change and ambiguity well -Things are being sorted out right now but the long-term is bright and feels good with the backing of some bigger companies like Warner -A place where there still is fun too

Cons

-Ambiguity can be hard -While big company backing is a pro it can also get in the way at times from a true startup feel.

Opportunity Awaits

Pros

Passionate coworkers - It really is for fans, by fans, and it's encouraging to work alongside people who really are genuinely excited by what we do and love the industry. Great office - big, bright, and colorful Lunch every day is awesome. Dog friendly office. Located right by public transit. Growth opps avail to those who are scrappy and really work for it

Cons

Not necessarily a con, but Ellation still operates like a startup - small teams, heavy workload. Could be seen as a con to come, but also presents opps to dig in and make an impact. Powell can be a little sketchy - it's very touristy and during conventions or over the holidays, it's pretty packed.

Great place to grow, horrible place to prosper.

Pros

Every one is incredibly talented and I love the people at Ellation. Get to work on great content and cool projects.

Cons

No team coordination. Too much is lost because teams work in silos. Everyone thinks they know what is best and do not listen to the advice of others. The "leaders" seem to make it up as they go and it's obvious they know just as much as the rest of us. There is always promise for growth dangled right out of your reach which keeps you here. Wish I had left long ago.

Appreciate this feedback - I also want you to know that you can schedule a time to chat live if you ever would like.... Silos are certainly something we want to diminish and work through to maximize our resources that we have and continue to make this a great place to work.
