Pros

Great office and location. Some great coworkers still remain but most have either been fired or pushed out.

Cons

There is a culture of fear that has become the norm at the company, which is why no one is challenging senior leadership and their strategic decisions. More incompetent VPs and directors are being hired at levels that should be Senior Managers at most, but are put in these positions because they come from other streaming services with very different operation models. It's common for employees to resort to quitting due to clashes with senior leadership, and even when those leaders are named in their escalations to HR nothing is done to keep them accountable. The only way to surface "anonymous" feedback in All Staff company meetings is to non-anonymously send feedback through an admin. Despite numerous requests in the past 2 years to go back to truly anonymous feedback the company has dug its heels and refused so feedback in public forums is sanitized.
