Pros

*lean and mean org structure means exposure to C-leadership and oppty to make impact *has somehow survived in a business where many competitors have failed *occasional fun outings and off sites *there remains a possibility the company could succeed despite itself

Cons

*CEO is a rare combination of very smart and intellectually lazy - makes for a tedious arrogance and constant mistakes for not listening to expertise. A deeply frustrating person who cannot let go of micromanaging things inthey have little experience *company culture is exceptionally negative and frequently combative *sycophants are rewarded over expertise and skills *pay is low, benefits are barebones , PTO is minimal, there is a forced office attendance with zero benefit to company or staff *there is no HR staff, there’s no finance person, the entire administration is run by the founder and his minion junior staff. - it’s completely bizarre for a series B *terrible customer relations and account management have made growth beyond initial Covid era upswing nearly impossible

Pros

Opportunities to improve editing skills and speed while still maintaining consistency across projects. Wide variety of editing work that doesn’t sacrifice creativity. Exploring different styles instead of repetitive editing assignments every day. Managers expecting accountability while still giving editors room to handle projects independently.

Cons

The volume of work can be overwhelming sometimes.

Pros

The team in Manila is the heart of the business - great team to work with. High energy, committed, and looking to grow.

Cons

Inexperienced leadership in SF drags the business. Given the relatively small size and scale of the business, I experienced and witnessed a shocking amount of stress, heartache, and politics. Unbelievable attrition due to basic mistreatment of their people. The CEO built a low trust and volatile environment where mature leaders burn out. Many of the leaders that do stick around are emotionally detached, ok with inflicting pain on others, and/or have low standards. Getting the right work done is typically a fight and everyone is so frustrated with the stagnation that patience and collaboration is non-existent. The CEO conflates disregard for psychological safety with honesty - high on fear, low on loyalty. The worst US culture I've participated in. Other things to watch out for: Zero ability to keep women on staff in SF. Wins are not celebrated, high effort is spent on punishing people for mistakes. You are not treated as an adult with a life outside of work - if you have an appointment on an in office day, you can't come in late, you have to take a full day from their very limited PTO budget. I would not recommend working here if you value respect, teamwork, fun, or building things that last.
