Pros

Entrepreneurial atmosphere with innovative ideas encouraged. Great benefits package.

Cons

Constant company re-organization causes employees to feel their positions are always in danger of being eliminated. Managers encourage staff to be competitive rather than collaborative. Managers compete with each other and often have different agendas, which pulls their staff into the line of fire from their political maneuvering. High staff turnover. Salary is less then competitors so it is difficult for them to attract and retain top talent. Company is not big enough to compete against corporate conglomerates like Disney and Amazon. Employees are often given title promotions instead of salary raises and required to take on more responsibility for the same pay or a minimal increase.

Unbearably corporate

Pros

Once had some popular IP

Cons

Stuffy and corporate all the way up the food chain. This is the kind of place that tells interns they need to spend their whole days getting coffee and taking sandwich orders if they ever want to advance in their careers (blatantly untrue - there are plenty of places in Hollywood that will provide stimulating work for their employees, intern or not). Senior Management was unaware of which movies the company has made. Once provided me with a list of films including Saw, Twilight, etc., and had me look through a physical filling cabinet (where the records were kept, apparently) to see if the company had distributed then or not. I checked them off by memory instead, because unlike management I actually enjoy the film industry. If you enjoy film, I wouldn't recommend Lionsgate - they have had very few successful movies since the heyday of Twilight/Hunger Games. You get few interesting projects, and it shows in the disinterest of everyone around you. Add on top of that a generally bro-y culture and this is probably the last place in Santa Monica you want to work
