Pros

Talented coworkers and 401K matching

Cons

Where do I even begin? I didn’t want to waste another ounce of energy on this company but if I can prevent even one person from accepting a job here then it’ll be worth it. Whimsocal Studios (Orange Circle Studio, Studio Oh, Saturday Sundae, and the dozen other names/brands that this company is associated with) is emblematic of everything that is wrong with corporate America. All the 1 star reviews of this company on Glassdoor are accurate and don’t even begin to scratch the surface of what a nightmare this company is. They will offer no training, pay you pennies, work you to the bone, expect the impossible, and then when you meet or exceed their absurd deadlines they will tell you you’re still not doing enough. Then they will lay you off (no joke). Extreme disorganization and incompetent leadership (from the owner of the company to the CEO to VPs) to the point where it’s laughable. They don’t have a single clue of all the work that people do here on a daily basis and they certainly don’t care. This company is failing its mostly fantastic employees that somehow still keep this company up and running. All to produce useless garbage in plastic packaging. For your mental wellbeing, I beg you to work anywhere but here.

DO NOT WORK HERE

Pros

- Most coworkers are very kind and talented people which help make working here a little more bearable. - 401K match offered. - Office snacks provided and occasional lunch.

Cons

*NOTE: Orange Circle Studio was recently rebranded to Whimsocal. - Leadership, particularly the CEO, is shockingly incompetent and seems to make a lot of reckless and questionable decisions. They seem to have VERY little understanding of the actual work that goes into roles at the company. In turn they show a clear lack of respect for certain employees & under-value many of them. - They set you up for failure with unmanageable workloads/no support, yet are delusional about the results they expect (perfection). - If you do a good job they will try every chance they get to 'reward' you with more work for likely no additional compensation. - Leadership can also be VERY passive-aggressive, patronizing, and rude to certain employees (especially ones they seemingly do not like) leading to a very toxic work environment. I was shocked & disgusted to see how some of my coworkers were treated.

Pros

Free snacks and sparkling water

Cons

Studio Oh/ Orange Circle Studio (Now goes by Whimsocal) is a sinking ship. A company who once proudly paraded that they uplifted women artists and stood for a good cause is now just a hallow shell of what they once were. They’ve laid off a substantial amount of their staff in the last few months. In a society where losing your job to ai is a real and genuine threat and the proven massive negative environmental impact it creates, the company is championing its use and encouraging very heavy-handedly that everyone must start using it for as much as they can in their workflow. Upper management only cares about their own livelihood, providing no advocacy for their employees and forcing unreasonable deadlines for an insulting amount of pay. They have begun outsourcing entire teams of people who have been with the company for years and chase profit over morals. Studio Oh (Whimsocal) is a spineless and greedy company that will turn and burn every employee until there is nothing left. Do not take a job here.
