Hulu Employee Reviews about "growing pains"

Pros

Used to be fun, collaborative, "flat" org, work/life balance

Cons

Gotten overly political. A lot of leveling without any clear lines of communication or processes. Forget about trying to make any changes on the product and marketing side. Decisions are made regardless of what the data and research say. Projects take forever with so many decision makers. Going through a lot of growing pains, which includes promoted unqualified employees as managers. Doesn't care about Hulugans, care more about the company itself. More and more corporate everyday with Disney taking over and the CEO is not inspiring or motivating like past CEO's. Probably going to only get more corporate and political with Disney being more and more involved.

Pros

Great open One Team culture across the company.

Cons

Still working through some start up -> small company -> large company growing pains, but generally heading in a direction I like.

Pros

I come to Hulu every day excited to work on amazing projects with talented, smart and just plain fun to be around people. I find myself constantly grateful for the opportunity to be part of a team -- and this is coming from someone who is honestly, not that big of a team player, naturally. It's an exciting and dynamic place that truly cares about its employees, cares about company culture and transparency and is at the helm of some terribly innovative things. I can't recommend it enough.

Cons

But oh boy are we bad at process and hemmed in by "collaboration." I think a lot of this is growing pains, but the fact we spend so much time on how we are doing things, rather than what we are doing is a drawback that slows us down in a very competitive industry. The company knows this is a problem and is very candid about addressing ways to improve it. Also, within my division, the salaries are really below market. If I were to leave, it'd be for that reason alone.

Pros

-Work/Life balance -Company Transparency -Ability to work WITH your leads and managers not just for them

Cons

- has not nailed down work/life balance yet... comes along with some growing pains - sometimes it feels we're too restrained by old media traditions/practices - competitive industry isn't for everyone, turn around has been incredible to be a part of but will be tough to keep going

Pros
