Pros

The pay is high for what the job description entails. There are quarterly bonuses, paid time off, and flexible scheduling.

Cons

The management is absolutely atrocious. I am consistently made to compensate for the shortcomings of my team lead and department managers. Any genuine, maturely stated concerns are dismissed as complaining and entirely ignored. Instead of being rewarded for being a hardworking employee, my good work is exploited to the maximum degree.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
