Pros

Great benefits, medical, 401k match, stock options, tuition, etc. Depending on the dept, you work with a good team. Fast pace, always changing entertainment environment.

Cons

They don't know how to make a real profit so every year they lay off employees. They only give Directors and above bonuses every year, money that could be uses to save a job or two. They run you into the ground with work load (from cuts) and performance based raises only get you 2.5-10% raise, not much compared to your salary. Hard to get to the top when they hire upper-management from outside.

Pros

-Competitive salary -Solid benefits package, including 401(k) match, tiered health plans, year-end time off, and maternity leave

Cons

-The organization has a disproportionately high number of decision-makers relative to individual contributors (approximately 2–3 senior leaders per one worker). -Compensation growth has slowed since the TKO merger. Fun benefit perks have been canceled after the merger. -Expect frequent late hours and weekend work. -Senior leadership often demonstrates a lack of clear strategic direction. Many leaders have been with the company for over a decade and continue to be promoted, which may limit fresh perspectives. -Workplace culture can be challenging, with behavior such as yelling and degrading team members during team meetings, deflecting responsibility followed by the occasional gaslighting, and a lack of accountability are accepted. -Recognition and rewards are limited, with modest merit increases (around 3%) and no bonus structure. Given the workload, leadership challenges, and limited growth incentives, this role may not be worthwhile unless you are entering at a senior leadership level.
