Pluspunten

I’d say my favorite thing about working here is the people. I think there is a great sense of community. I came from a job where I worked on a small team, but there always seemed to be a sense of drama. Here is the opposite! It’s a small company, but everyone is welcoming and seems to mesh well. It’s an open office (and there’s free food in the kitchen) so you get to know people pretty well from all the different teams. Someone is always there with an answer to your question! I specifically work on the video team, which has allowed me to branch out creatively and learn a significant amount about different areas in the field. That’s one of the great things – if you want to learn a new skill or inquire about something, the team leader encourages it, making you more well-rounded. He is also understanding when it comes to different needs for different employees, since working styles vary. This is a very innovative bunch and it’s also exciting to see the content we produce. I was honestly surprised at the caliber of work when I first joined the team. Everything is something I’m proud to have my name be a part of! Also, we have monthly themed parties and free lunch on Fridays. I came from a heavily corporate job prior, so little things like this make me extremely thankful!

Minpunten

At first, I found clocking my time per project to be a little stressful, simply because I had never done it before. I can attest that it does become more natural with time and I’ve gotten used to it. Also, the month of January is a bit time consuming and requires a lot of dedication, but it’s worth it in the end!

Pluspunten

No two days are ever the same...you’ll get to travel the world, work with fun people, free Friday lunches, and casual office environment.

Minpunten

Definitely a lot of learning as you go, so if you need hand-holding, this might not be the gig for you..

Pluspunten

Friday lunches and holiday gatherings were nice morale boosters. Some opportunities to gain experience in different areas since roles often extended beyond job descriptions.

Minpunten

Work-life balance was very difficult to maintain. Employees were often expected to work weekends and extremely long days (sometimes from early morning until very late at night, ex 8am to 2am), especially around events. Staffing levels did not match the workload. At times, I was responsible for the equivalent of three different roles simultaneously, without additional pay or support. My first two paychecks were delayed, and I had to follow up multiple times to receive payment. Leadership struggled with communication and consistency. Decisions were sometimes reversed (e.g., letting employees go due to “lack of work” and then rehiring them shortly after). High turnover, with many employees leaving due to burnout or dissatisfaction. PTO was minimal (only 5 days of earned PTO per year starting out). The culture could feel overly critical at times, with low morale among staff.
