Pros

There are very few and they are certainly not worth it. My guess is they will offer you a very strong compensation package. You will regret if you accept it.

Cons

I wanted to post this review because of the sudden, random five star reviews that started showing up. Very suspicious. There isn't a lot more I can say about how awful it is to work here than what has been said below (the negative reviews are true, they aren't just scorned employees who were weeded out). I will make this simple. You will get more of a "vision" by asking the transients that sit outside the office in Santa Monica than you will from any executive here. The environment is very political. Expect to do what you are told, when you are told or be gone. Also expect to throw your coworkers under the bus at every opportunity in hopes of a 5% raise that may or may not happen. In summary, the reset button needs to be hit on this place. Everyone with a VP title or above needs to be removed and replaced with people who know what they are doing.

Pros

Great Benefits & Remote Work

Cons

No matter how hard you work, there’s no recognition or pay increase. I wouldn’t recommend using the open-door policy if you have concerns about a manager. I raised an ongoing issue and ended up being written up based on claims that I wasn’t completing my work, even though I was following instructions. When layoffs happened, I was unfortunately among the first to be let go. It felt like a real slap in the face after all the time and commitment I gave to the company.
