Hulu Reviews

Pros

less work load, i m trying to recall but cant think of anything

Cons

no growth prospect, no motivation to work, not a friendly environment

Pros

Good company culture and competitive compensations

Cons

Unclear career path and some project doesn't make too much sense

Pros

work life balance is great

Cons

some people is lazy and hiring bar is not higher than before

Pros

It is fast paced. So a lot of time fresh graduates would struggle to find a place where they need proper mentorship. Things like technical landside is continuously changing. So if you want to later one technology, this might not be the place for you.

Cons

Management had changed recently and there is a bit of uncertainty for the direction. Individual growth is difficult as promotions only happen if you work a lot or if you're a favorite

Pros

Talented people if they last long enough. Good health care benefits. Free snacks and booze.

Cons

Marketing division is the worst after new CMO started with constant re-orgs with Product divisions that don't make sense. Not hiring or promoting strong performers and rewarding mediocre team members because they play politics and don't rock the boat. Setting up people to fail by overworking them and pointing the finger when they do. Managers who shouldn't be managers are being promoted because directors and VPs...

Advice to Management

C-level executives, look at what's going on with your departments. Whole teams are leaving the company because good people are tired of politics and being punished for doing good work. Why go through the trouble of having an internal yearly pulse check of how the company is treating its employees if you retain Directors and VPs who's team has the lowest scores and lowest satisfaction.

Pros

Hulu has an amazing culture. There are always fun events, people are awesome, really develop new friendships. The benefits are great, 5 months maternity, unlimited vacation, and more.

Cons

Limited availability to move up. So much gossip, it's hard to trust people with information. Power struggle where I feel sometimes they don't move you forward to keep their own power.

Advice to Management

Don't make us do surveys if you don't take advice into practice

Pros

Some decent benefits and paid time off. I think every department is different. Most of the positive reviews seem to be coming from the Engineering/Tech fields. The Marketing department is not a positive place to work at Hulu.

Cons

I have never experienced a company that is as toxic as Hulu. The amount of finger pointing and blaming that goes on here is unlike anything I have ever experienced. And the problem is that it comes from the top positions. There is no process or organization. So much disorganization at a company that has been around for 10 years. Misinformation and communication problems happen because there is no centralized database...

Pros

Apparently young friendly crowd. Lots of smart people to work with. You can learn a lot of new technologies and techniques.

Cons

Massively understaffed. The newly formed Data org is extremely inefficient and a cult driven culture. There are a bunch of lackeys (literally) who call the shots. Rest everyone else is cannon fodder. It seems like an eternal "how long can you keep shut and keep getting burnt contest". Upper management really adept at discouraging you and shaming you wherever & whenever possible. You don't have much of a future in the...

Advice to Management

Hope post 3/29/2019 was some kind of a lesson. Time to look beyond how to artificially jack up those hulucares scores. If you have a family and look forward to spend time with them on a regular basis this may not be it.
