Pros

A lot of nice people and positive attitudes for the most part. Free lunches catered.

Cons

Although everyone at the workplace was polite and pleasant, this is a very radical leftist social-agenda-driven company that could make any employee not totally enthusiastic about those agendas feel uncomfortable. This company presents themselves as fair, open-minded, and accepting of all people, but they are all about diversity hiring. I personally observed someone in an upper position openly talking about making their hiring decisions, based not on merit or experience but based on race and lifestyle. I also observed a situation in which a perfectly good candidate for a job opening was dismissed out of hand, and in private discussion the reason given for dismissal was not the candidate's qualifications, but the candidate's religion. Despite presenting themselves as a very pro-woman-female-driven studio, my observation was female employees given all the public exposure, and a backbone of male employees doing much of the internal heavy lifting and decision making on projects behind the scenes.

Pros

The VRV and Crunchyroll products have a big, loyal fanbase. Good swag.

Cons

People told gay jokes in the office during Pride month. There is a history of incidents of sexual harassment by senior male staff as well as rank-and-file workers toward women (some leading to dismissals, some apparently not). The company also drove a bunch of teams through a death march to ship a new version of software, then laid off dozens of people and sent their jobs to a company in Moldova owned by the "interim" CTO immediately after the deadline was met. Tacky. Cruel.
