Pros

You get to be around sports. And Apple TV is cool. And the thorns are great.

Cons

You will be managed by people who don’t have a background in creative, production, content, or design that aren’t up to speed or interested in current trends. Most of the work is churn and burn without much intentionality. There’s absolutely no work life balances and deadlines are made to set you up for failure (bullying and manipulation tactic from mgmt). Not a conducive environment for idea sharing and feedback unless you conform to how leadership looks (white middle aged male). Lack of transparency and bullying from leadership, and not a healthy work environment overall. Forget about work life balance. Not everyone there is a bad person but there is a string of leadership that has immunity from any accountability.

Pros

You get free tickets to matches. You get to make videos for Apple TV.

Cons

You will be managed by older men who know nothing about either design or soccer. Your tasks will be production requests of the most mundane kind. If and when you ever put fresh, on-trend, creative ideas in front of them it will be dissected and over scrutinized, ignored and forgotten in favor of ‘the way things are done’. If you enjoy working in a basement with no windows and love to be around management that validate their jobs with meetings about meetings while you do their bidding and give them all their ideas to take credit for… then this job is for you. Leadership is compromised of the ones that have stayed around the longest , not the most talented.

Pros

You get to help grow the sport of soccer. Great location. Mostly nice people who mean well.

Cons

No confidence in leadership. Haven't had a clue how to manage the crisis. Still don't have a clue. The vast majority of people are significantly underpaid.
