Pros

* You're fully vested upon being hired. There's no waiting.

Cons

*HR is practically nonexistent *Promotions aren't based on merit or experience. It's a popularity contest where management promotes their friends *Overall employee morale is low and there's no trust between employees and management *Non-execs walk on eggshells because evaluations and surveys are used against them * The harder you work, the more they fear you. They want you to comply even if that means the work you submit is subpar *Management is poorly trained, not highly educated, and therefore displays weak and inefficient team/dept. leadership

Pros

The lower level employees are burnouts. The company used to be amazing but the new CEOs drove it into the ground.

Cons

Upper management is so out of touch. Constant layoffs. No transparency. Unrealistic work hours. So many better companies out there with better work/life balance. Upper managers try and tell you to be thankful you have a job instead of actually pushing for positive change. Blessed to have made it out alive. A thankless job.

Cons

Many layoffs. Salaries much lower than similar companies in entertainment. Promotions hard to come by for most. Little to no incentives for stock options and bonuses except for Senior management.
