Current Employee – been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment

Current Employee – been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – -Warner Bros. produces great content, is an industry leader in home entertainment, and is more innovative than other studios with exploring new initiatives; you would be proud to be a part of it.
-Not an overly corporate atmosphere where you are micromanaged
-A lot of great, smart people work here
-Some people are paid well compared to other places; but it depends

Cons – -The Home Entertainment group consists of home video, digital, and interactive... the distribution of individual resources given to each of these subsets is wildly imbalanced, and frankly, makes little rational sense considering trends, numbers, expectations, etc.
-Strong sense of competitiveness between different groups; there isn't a natural tendency to collaborate and share, it's like a fake niceness when they see the others as a threat or someone who could potentially put you out of a job
-A lot of the hardest workers (with the best experience/education) are perpetual contractors that are overworked and underpaid with little to no longterm career prospects - regardless of how well they perform. There seems to be more and more emphasis on cheap labor, which is not a smart way to run the business in the longterm because outside of a bad economy, you give valuable team members absolutely NO motivation to stay... which then makes the team suffer in regards to constant turnover and no one left that is aware of how to get things done.

Advice to Senior Management – Reward good work, not politics. Pay attention to what is best for where the company/industry is headed.

Current Employee – been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment

Pros – WB offers the chance to work on great titles. You get the opportunity to interface closely with the artists and have a lot of responsibility.

Cons – Employees are stressed and unhappy. Working in a shrinking industry creates tense, insecure managers who hide and hoard information. There is no sense of teamwork and meritocracy does not exist. My advice is to get your experience and get out.

Former Employee – worked at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – • Was a great place to work and truly feel proud your contribution to the company.
• Every smart and nice employee at WHV.
• Seeing A-list actors on the main lot.
• Great perks.

Cons – • Senior management that made this company successful are resigning by the truck full.
• No room for growth or career development
• Senior management often lead you on to promotions that never come.
• Cannot trust senior management

Advice to Senior Management – In a creative industry like Warner Bros. don’t think of your employees as just work horses that you can squeeze profit out off. You are losing your top and/or discouraging your top talent.

Current Employee – been working at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – No Pros. I was a contractor and even though we put in lot of hours working hard, there was no praise or support given. Worst. Worst client to work for.

Cons – Worse client I ever worked with.
Long hours.
No praise or help or support.
Expectation is like crazy. They expect people to work 24 hours.
They don't know what to work on and then expect people to deliver on time. First they should clear what they really want and where they want to go with a project and should have real world expectations

Advice to Senior Management – They should try to stay real world. People are not their slaves and don't just work for them. They have personal lives too.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
