Pros

Amazing dedicated, proactive, professional peers and co-workers, who care about the product, anime fans (users), and quality. Great perks: GYM, lunches, snacks, health insurance, flexible working hours.

Cons

Not a good place to work anymore. The new Funimation leadership is a group of incompetent non-professional friends who foster favoritism and “do-as-I-said” mentality. They don’t care about people and have no skills, knowledge, and experience in working with people. The worst part is that they think they are clever and smart. They don’t want to listen, grow and learn new things. The leadership has fired a lot of smart people who were with Crunchyroll for many years and had a lot of knowledge. They put on those positions their friends - newbies with no experience or expertise. There is zero transparency. In meetings or 1:1 you would always hear that you are doing great and after several days, they would fire you.
