Fun is but a facade. Coworkers are great though! - Content Curator Movieclips Employee Review

This place is a seriously hardcore Python shop, almost everything is built in Python, except the node.js stack that is used to handle our socket connection heavy claim system. It's a good place to learn Python technology stacks on PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB from some of the best Python hackers in LA, engineers are empowered with responsibility and ownership of their own projects and schedules, but with oversight from product management to allocate resources and manage feature road map. When I was interviewing, they claimed that they are the most advanced Youtube technology partner team in the world, capable of moving millions of Youtube views on a daily basis and getting our viewers to keep on coming back to us. It's not until after I have joined I realized how true that was, they have way more internal tools than they let the outside world know about interfacing with Youtube API, most of them proprietary and confidential to drive views, and optimize for ads/revenue, etc. Definitely looks like a startup that is going up and to the right fast. I feel lucky to be one of the early engineers to join the team.

They use SOI here which is not the best health care benefit provider... and so health insurance is a bit more expensive, but they pay me well enough that this is not an issue.

Some of the most amazing people work here. Especially if you're young and moving out to LA this is a great place to meet some cool people. There's also a lot of fun and exciting stuff going on at MovieClips. There's a basketball hoop, a snow cone and popcorn machine, random parties when the company achieves a big goal, and field trips to Comicon or the latest blockbuster that's out in theaters.

The pay is awful, especially for LA you can hardly afford to squeeze by. When you are promoted out of Content team (where most people start out) you have twice the responsibility and often still no raise. When you do get a raise you make $12.50 instead of $10.00 an hour at a job you could easily be making $40,000 a year for at a different company. It's no wonder the turnover rate is terrible. Every week one to two people leave the company.
