Great coworkers and understanding supervisors, but poor management

Video producer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Truly talented, smart, and wonderful coworkers who are great to be around and are people I genuinely respect and look forward to seeing. I also had understanding supervisors.

Cons

Upper management is a mess. Old school thinking in a space requiring new methods of engaging with their audience has the company in rapid decline with many waves of layoffs. Quantity over quality, "feed the machine" mentality. Worked my *** off for years leading many projects with not a single significant pay raise or promotion.

Amazing Creative Teams, Stereoptypically Poor Corporate Leadership

Senior editor/producer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

• Unique position in media/gaming industry with fantastic opportunities for insider access to well known game studios and entertainment industry figures. • Driven and talented editorial/design teams and generally wonderful people on a social level. • Lots of cross-team collaboration on large-scale projects • Good mid-level managers • Flexible scheduling, respectful of personal boundaries.

Cons

• Relatively low salaries given location & workload, minimal comp increases. • Corporate leadership traditionally siphons revenue to other companies. • Not enough support for Editorial/Design teams • Minimal advancement opportunities (lots of lateral title changes) • "Unlimited PTO" surprisingly limited • Typical corporate/executive failures in media (disregard for quality/relevance of sponsorships, HR protecting the company rather than employees, executive leadership ignoring editorial/ethical boundaries, etc)
