Pros

Working for a movie studio, screenings, co-workers, some upper mgmt, upbeat environment.

Cons

Cliques, not transparent about anything, a lot of hierarchies (not a flat organization), egos. Some upper management lacks management training, some are exceptional leaders. Unethical employees destroying reputations to shield themselves from looking bad. Not a lot of feedback or development from management. No time for employees low on the totem pole. People running departments that do not have the same skills as their subordinates. Leadership decisions lack good business economics 101. Feels like a popularity contest. Need to restructure some groups to make them more effective. Jealousy and competition seem to fuel most decisions because people are motivated to stand out instead of making good decisions for the business.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
