Pluspunten

Benefits, pay, tuition reimbursement, internal screenings, offices are convenient and well-kept.

Minpunten

- You know those scenes in Mean Girls when the girls turn into gazelles and start attacking each other? Maybe not, because it's not part of an HBO theatrical stunt. Anyway, that's what it's like every day between departments. Everyone is climbing to get to the top and will stab you in the back within seconds. - Casual racism and harassment run rampant, especially towards junior employees. Very "Mad Men"-style environment circa 2018. - No consideration of work/life balance unless you have kids, and it's only slightly better if you do. - The impending threat of layoffs is constant, even though they spend upwards of $15 million to produce each episode of GoT. No financial transparency between departments, even if you're the one spending the money (I think I saw a budget once in three years). - Archaic technology and workflow. HBO can't shake the fact that it's not a linear broadcast network.
