Pros

If you want to enjoy luxurious food and high-end offices while enjoying watching company politics, and nothing else need to be done - that's the right place for you! the best show in town.

Cons

Many leave or get fired by the minute. guess what - performance is never the issue - those workers wanted to prove themselves, wanted to do something meaningful, but somehow failed in "playing the game" and they couldn't stay anymore. Ppl leave because they had enough, and realise how so little they developed their skills for the time that they spent in the company. The HR never care - they will find a replacement, yes, some like to come for a 2 years shift to see this un-real place.

Pros

-you're at the forefront of the AI video generation space -new tasks, initiatives, and products features are introduced every day so always something fresh to work on -Puts the human first, lots of perks such as generous stipends, -US office has had the culture constantly built up - snacks, flexible hybrid days in office, comfortable seating, fun monthly events like bowling and Yankee games. We've outgrown a couple offices in the short time the NYC office has existed so rapid growth is encouraging -Media companies are generally fun (work hard, play hard) environments -Quarterly on sites where the leaders and team gets together for updates

Cons

-constant shifts in focuses for the revenue department/things to sell without any notice. AI video gen may look completely different on a weekly basis -release notes are practically nonexistent and people find out about new features/releases as they go -sometimes communications get lost in translation across regions or feel forced -B2C org historically, so most senior stakeholders don't have much knowledge of the B2B space

Pros

- the people are priceless - on the forefront of AI, you get to deal with really cool and visual stuff - great benefits, food, office parties, wellness packages - hybrid policy with a great WLB - cool offices in a great location in Midtown

Cons

The co-working space gets a bit crowded at times, but other than that not really.
