Pros

There are no pros to crunchyroll.

Cons

Extremely poor work-life balance. Frantic and panic culture of overwork & micromanagement. They struggle to retain any leadership, the churn rate is really high. Funimation leadership took the reins and is running the business into the ground. There is no path to career growth here, Don't expect to have time or even decent resources for self improvement and learning either. If you are one of the few people that are promoted, they won't announce it to anyone unless you are director or greater, they so obviously don't care about any of the engineers that put in so much hard work on Crunchyroll. They promote an antagonistic and attacking culture instead of open communication and collaboration. The pay is not competitive with the market, The benefits are terrible and they've cut most of the benefits they still post on jobs.
