Pros

One of the pros is that it's generally a 9-5 working in film and television, which isn't always easy to come by. They have state of the art facilities and the resources to stay on the cutting edge.

Cons

This company doesn't care about its employees. They buy out small post houses in the US, lay off the vast majority of the work force, then ship the work to other countries because the margins are wider there. Swooped into my previous company for the stated purpose of consuming our "Netflix preferred vendor" badge (they actually told us this in a company wide zoom meeting). Assured everyone we would keep our jobs and nothing would change. If anything, they assured us, there would be more work to go around. 6 months to the day of that townhall, almost half of my coworkers were laid off. They immediately rescinded all work from home agreements, firing multiple employees who had moved out of state during covid or giving them the generous opportunity to move back to Los Angeles with no financial aid for a job they couldn't guarantee would remain their. To Deluxe you are a number on a spreadsheet and your companies a potential work order to consume. 0/10 would not recommend.

Pros

Deluxe has two nice office spaces and options for working remote if you are not near one of the offices. People at Deluxe are very friendly and upper management will happily greet you when you bump into them around the office. Deluxe is also very diverse and welcoming to all kinds of people.

Cons

Over the last year, Deluxe has had three large rounds of lay offs. I have also witnessed key roles getting eliminated and senior management directing those that are left to pick up the slack without any expectations of replacing the role or increasing the salaries of those remaining. There were also no merit increases nor promotion opportunities during 2025. Lastly, Deluxe often hires people into contractor roles and contractors do not get any PTO nor benefits.
