Pros

The product is genuinely exciting to work on

Cons

There is no real HR or people services, the CEO even assigned himself HR for a while. Management and intimidating and unsupportive & will insist that staff ask questions etc then reprimand them or question their intelligence for doing exactly that. Ceo micromanages and is constantly changing the direction of the product which doesn’t give time for the product to become polished. There is no appreciation for employees and no reward for hard work or loyalty, staff are dropped almost weekly regardless of their commitment and hard work. The high staff turnover means the team do not gel well and rude upper management have no issue insulting staff and swearing in stand ups. I’ve never worked somewhere so unhealthy. My advice is to avoid, accepting the job despite the negative reviews was one of my worst decisions.

Pros

It's a great honor to work here in Marcopolo Learning. Everyday feels like a new day that I always learn something new about the world, the nature and ourselves. There're so many talented people who work really hard everyday and passionate about their jobs, thus, we have such an amazing product that kids around the world can explore and learn. It's always a pleasure to talk to designers and artists, we share and learn from each other everyday! Justin is an excellent boss, he helped me with my working visa so that I have the opportunity to work here in the US, even when I went through some really rough time during that time, he and HR provided all the support I need. Although the headquarter moved to London, the art team has been supportive to me the whole time. They tried everything they can to make sure that belong to the team, which I'm grateful for it! Since the company moved to London, all the projects that I've been working on have been creative, fun and educational. I see myself has grown up a lot from past few years, it was a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to some more incredible adventures.

Cons

Sometimes you may need to work on urgent tasks with strict deadline, it's quite a challenge, however, you will gain new skills and knowledge from these tasks.
