Pros
Free education, smart coworkers, and an avid student base. It seems like a dream and will likely feel like it for a period of time. Prime office locations in both SF and Seattle with decent benefits. The production team is the only department that seems to have any fun. And free lunch several days a week!
Cons
Product isn't user friendly and steps to make it more so have been slow to put it kindly. Our audience is constantly confused by our product - and has been for years. Why on earth aren't we a monthly subscription company? Why isn't there an app? Outside of the product itself, it only gets worse the longer you stay. It's been said by many other reviewers here, but the main problem most people have at CreativeLive has is with management and the lack of direction overall. No one is creating strategy or a clear vision, but everyone is placing blame. This is where a strong CEO would be helpful - to give a unified direction. Chase is smart and creative, but he simply isn't a good fit for the company and our audience. Overall, it has the feeling of a sinking ship around here lately. Unless drastic changes are made, I don't see how this company will ever be profitable or sustainable.
