Pros

Friendly, convivial atmosphere with mostly young employees in their 20's and 30's. Good benefits. Full Med/Dental/Vision with generous vacation but very few holidays. Friendly and approachable managers. Satisfactory compensation.

Cons

Difficult to attain any work-life balance depending on your role. It is a start-up mentality and, if you work hard, you will be noticed and rewarded. However, be prepared to work long hours and be on-call depending on whether your job function requires it. Upper management can be disorganized at times and it is a very stressful environment for most, if not all, staff members regardless of which department you are in. Funds appeared to be mostly invested into those that had direct, hands-on roles with the technology/product at the expense of other departments. As a result, you may have inexperienced managers and young employees that need more support than is available which adds to an overworked, stressed staff that is already lacking in resources. High employee turnover. Open office layout with little to no privacy. This is just a personal preference for a more traditional office layout.

Pros

Cutting-Edge Technologies created by some of the "best minds in the Industry". Leading the way in Streaming Platform and the Tools that are used to create a successful "Live Production". Company can offer Streaming Platform, Production Services, and Products that no other Manufacturer can.

Cons

The lack of proper management infrastructure makes it very difficult to accomplish tasks quickly and effectively. The Company is currently devoid of certain necessary functions (i.e.: Marketing. Product Planning and Management) to execute a complete strategy for their Platform and Products. There needs to be more trust with the employees inside the Company as opposed to seeking external advice or consultation.
