Pros

There are none. This company has been falling apart since 2013 and is only on the decline. Its most recent reviews are nothing more than the CEO begging people to write something positive about the company, a practice I witnessed on more than one occasion while working there. I was asked 3 or 4 times to provide a glowing review on this place, and clearly they are keeping up with the tradition.

Cons

Everything. The finances of of this company are quickly crumbling, the video equipment is well over 15 years old and it shows in the production value, the fancy new website they have was the result of a talented digital producer who could not leave the company fast enough, and there is no care at all for the employees. Do NOT apply for a job here or trust them with any of your services.

Pros

Everyone is hardworking and wants to help you learn. Lots of opportunities to get experience anywhere in pre through post production, just let them know what you're interested in.

Cons

A lot of the work you do will be independent which can be great, but more often than not it's just up to you to figure out what you need to be doing.

Pros

Working at AnswersMedia was one of the most challenging events in my career. It’s also been THE most rewarding experience too. In the time I worked, I have learned and grown more than I ever thought possible. Yes it’s fast pace like any start up is, but if you are talented and motivated, you will have unlimited number of opportunities to grow, expand you knowledge and have fun doing it. For instance, I have been promoted twice in 20 months, which I don't believe would have been even possible at any other company. My managers have always been incredibly supportive of my career but also to me as a person which is very rare these days. It’s true that the company has been through many leadership changes over the years which inevitably caused employees frustration and rant. With yet another big change last fall, the company seems to be heading in the right direction with its full transparency and profit sharing model. Like I said, the possibilities are limitless. The bottom line is that it’s not the place for people who just want to skate by. This is a highly dynamic environment that is only suited for passionate people with that inner burning desire to succeed. Innovative products that this company offers would require no less.

Cons

Training and onboarding process could be a little smoother, new hires are expected to hit the ground running and supervisors don’t always have time to adequately prepare and train new employees against such a steep learning curve
