Pros

I don't have a lot to say on this part, but what I really liked is that I gained new friends and connections. The video editing teams really helped me get through every day, it's like having camaraderie with other fellow editors. We always help and look out for each other.

Cons

If I could put a 0 rating, I would, 1-Star rating is still too high. I've been with this company for just 3 months, and my mental health is in shambles. In this day and age, managements like this still exists. For future job hunters, please beware of this one. Listed below are some points to consider when you come across their job postings: — They micromanage a lot, which makes it hard to finish tasks on time and makes us feel like everything is OUR fault. — Excessive meetings that should've been an email — No strong and solid foundation of policies, they change things abruptly which makes it hard to keep up — No empathy, they treat employees like robots — LOW PAY RATES for a Video Editor — Lack of transparency and accountability from the management — No pay increases and no bonuses, just shout-outs — Little room for error, hence layoffs are rampant — Creatives are looked down upon — Management takes things personally, which makes it hard to voice out opinions/suggestions — Constructive criticisms are not welcome. — They lack understanding of their employees, which makes it hard to thrive in this workspace — Upper management are a bunch of yes-mans, they do not listen to the voices of the regular employees. — They do not know how to take care of their workers, and no growth can be experienced.

Pros

-You’ll develop resilience not because they train you, but because you’ll be forced to adapt to chaos. -You’ll learn to work fast under pressure… mostly out of fear of being blamed or let go. -You meet some talented and interesting people they will help you go through your day though they rarely stay long enough to thrive.

Cons

-The pipeline is a mess, one person’s tiny mistake can collapse everything, yet there’s no system to prevent it. -Too many people with inflated job titles doing the bare minimum while editors do the heavy lifting. -Some roles exist just to exist (like having someone just for scheduling, I got no beef with them but I first handedly experience the unfair results when this thing fail), but when that fails, it’s still the editor’s fault. -Decision-making feels like guesswork. No one takes accountability. Everything's reactive instead of thoughtful. -Editors are treated like an endless resource no concern for burnout, no boundaries, just nonstop revisions and blame. -Communication is poor. Instructions often get misinterpreted, but the blame still falls on the one trying their best to understand it. -Toxicity thrives here. Even your personal life isn’t safe here. -They scrapped "Best Edit of the Week" and replaced it with "Shoutout of the Week" because apparently, verbal pats on the back from an absent CEO are enough to keep creatives motivated. -No proper feedback loop. If a client dislikes the output, it’s always the editor’s fault. No room for context, no space for growth. -Terminations happen with zero grace. If you get a two-week notice, you're one of the lucky few. Others are dropped like they never mattered. -It feels less like a workplace and more like a test of endurance: how long can you survive without breaking?
