Lionsgate reviews

One of the biggest drawbacks at Lionsgate (and what you'll find is a shared opinion amongst all that are below VP level) is that the amount of compensation is nowhere near industry standard, especially for the amount of work. Lionsgate is VERY top-heavy when it comes to pay. At this point in time, May 2016, the company has gone through budget-tightening and that means promotions and pay increases were stripped from employees at the beginning of the fiscal year. We even cut back on paper cups and validating visitor parking. Yet, we still get emails with press releases celebrating the newest VP promoted to EVP or company investments into redundant/ill-conceived projects. It's disheartening when you struggle to pay rent and have stacking bills to see the accolades and praise sprinkled at the top with no recognition of those of us in the shadows who, if absent, would make this company come to a grinding halt. It's no wonder that lower-level employees seek jobs elsewhere after 1 to 2 years.

The business strategy and planning group under Jen Hollingsworth and Joe Drake is the most political group I have ever worked for. Management constantly gaslights your concerns and any attempts to escalate risks deducts your goodwill with the team. The pay is also very low - even for entertainment. Avoid this company (and team specifically) if you can.
