Pros

One of the strengths of Hallmark Labs is that they appear to be desperate to hire almost anyone in a tech-related field. In that vein, this is a great place for people looking to start a new career, improve their resume, or chill at a job where everything moves at a snail’s pace and nothing really matters. If you can handle bureaucratic corporate insanity, you might even be able to stay long enough to be promoted from within – earning you a nice new title or two for when you eventually try to get the hell out. Just don’t expect any monetary reward for your troubles, as Labs seems to pay far lower than nearby workplaces.

Cons

There are so, so many problems at Labs. But the biggest issue is the insane corporate control from Kansas City (or KC). If I were to describe the people of KC, I would call them sociopathic, power-playing middle-Americans who don’t understand a single thing about digital businesses. And unfortunately, they treat Labs as a means to further their own personal and short-sighted agendas, harming all of the Los Angeles employees in the process. What’s worse, is that KC appears to refuse to learn, admit fault, or take blame. They seemingly enjoy punishing Hallmark Labs and its workers for their own failures – including mass lay-offs, insane workplace restrictions, and inane focuses on pointless projects and “innovations”. And throughout all of this, KC doesn’t appear to listen to a single iota of feedback from Labsters in any step of the way – they just keep pumping out one failed project after another. Meanwhile, Labs’ senior leadership team doesn't show a hint of a backbone. I've only seen them roll over, accept each and every terrible decision that comes their way, and reprimand their workers when they try and speak out or fix things. Avoid this place at all costs. Toxic workplace, thy name is Labs.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand that change can be difficult in any organization. Hallmark’s change in leadership at the corporate level has resulted in strategic shifts at Labs that we request everyone have patience and understanding in. That is why our Core Staff has made noticeable efforts in offering transparency when communicating company changes to all Labsters.
