Crunchyroll reviews

1. All project, process are miss managed. Very poor upper management. 2. Product leadership expects you to stay extra time to meet their deadlines while 90% of your team gets fired and replaced by rooky developers from Moldova. 3. Product team seems to think they know what they are doing even interfering in engineering decisions. 4. Main product is broken and upper management has not been able to fix it in the past 3 months.

"Crunchyroll" is not a separate company. It's a product that the company Ellation maintains. The business teams for Crunchyroll are somewhat separated (though they're still in the same office) but engineering and many other departments are all part of Ellation proper. Read the Glassdoor reviews for Ellation. They don't bode very well. Petty politics and sabotage have resulted in layoffs for some of the most senior and well-respected engineers, as part of the company "growing" by buying up its outsourcing partner (whose CEO was conveniently ALSO the "interim CTO" of Ellation at the time). Now the rest of the senior engineers and lots of other people are leaving. There's a huge amount of distrust between ground-level employees and management.
