Pros

If you're at the start of your career you'll probably get alot out of working here as not all of the old guard talent has been pushed aside yet and it can be a fun place to work. Salaries are pretty competitive and there are some perks, especially if you like anime and graphic novels. If you're a mid-career or tenured professional you probably want to give this one a pass. Otherwise know that you're going to deal with disjointed leadership, changing priorities, infighting, and an organization that hasn't figured out who it is or where it's going yet.

Cons

Crunchyroll (Ellation) is a well-worn tale. Fun, quirky, passionate startup is acquired. The corporate goons appear in the shadows speaking various dialects of psycho-babble. Cliche slogans are posted about attitude, doing, winning, etc. The cool-aid is dispensed. Those who don't partake are summarily liquidated.
