Pros

You will find yourself collaborating with extremely talented, dedicated, and easy-to-work-with colleagues. The offices are great, if you live close-by.

Cons

There are undertones of the smaller UK office always coming second to the dominant US office in terms of funding, attention, comms, respect, and company culture. In the last 18 months of the Product team, efforts to reduce costs and maximize output have led to layoffs, frequent personnel shuffles, tangled reporting lines, and inconsistent direction. These practices continue, and negatively impact morale and result in high turnover. Management's approach to employee compensation is troubling. There are instances of hiring managers making false promises about bonuses, and a large number of employees being underpaid. It feels pointless to argue with leadership about adjusting salaries by inflation, over and over. The CFO’s remark, “If you are not happy with your salary, don't let the door hit you on the way out,” highlights a staggering disconnect between leadership and employee welfare.

Pros

- Visionary and skilled Leadership - Working on the cutting edge - Job stability in an industry that infamously has no stability and is primarily contract based. - Big, meaty, meaningful projects in the entertainment industry. - Leadership offers best possible benefits to full time employees they can offer. - Culture and people are fantastic.

Cons

- Work is project based, which means tight deadlines on high profile projects for clients can severely limit ability to have any work / life balance for unpredictable amounts of time. This is the reality of the business we are in, but worth mentioning!
