Pros

-Nice coworkers -Balanced work hours -Currently technology stack with exposure to AWS, GCP, Docker/Kubernetes, etc. -Free snacks and booze -Great office parties -Extremely diverse environment

Cons

-Dailymotion has been losing money for a long time with no end in sight. Is this really sustainable? -Preaching to the choir here, but management in the NYC office has slowly been replaced by anyone that is French. Seems there are meetings on the French side which we are not privy to, but decisions made have major impact on the way we work. All company wide initiatives are driven from the Paris office. -Unhealthy snacks and way too much booze. -Office administration makes major decisions yet has the highest turnover. Treat these people with respect. Offer them full time positions. -A website/platform that neither me or anyone I know actually uses -Where have all the product owners gone? Why did it take a year to hire one or two? Why are they in Paris and not working NYC office hours? -Messy reorganization -Please hire an interior decorator. The office is in shambles with its mismatched desks, chairs, and a game room that looks more like a playroom for children.

Pros

Work hard play hard environment. Stay focused on work and you will do great!

Cons

Sometimes seems a lot is going on in the office, tough to get work done if people are socializing in common areas. No cons I experienced were specific to company leadership. Loved every second here!
