Pros

Direct coworkers, many from Crunchyroll and some Funimation are helpful, hard working, fun. Typical perks (free Crunchyroll account, hybrid work, commuter benefits, lunches, etc)

Cons

Senior leadership doesn't "get it" It's all about saving money, it seems no one at the top really cares about what was delivered to the end user, only that they landed new subscribers. Unclear, opaque priorities No upward mobility Low pay (you can't pay the bills with "i work for a cool company"
