Pros

- Hiring team did an amazing job getting a lot of great people together to work on the "future of fandom" - Great potential - Competitive pay/benefits and perks** ** Competitive pay compared to the rest of the industry but newer hires will on average make 10~20% more than you (same roles)

Cons

- No clear vision from CEO - Dysfunctional management leading to recurring counterproductive arguments in daily/weekly meetings - Condescending leadership with new Department Heads being completely ignorant of the market, the industry and the plan of the company as a whole - Constant pivots into increasingly worse ideas/paths - Very long work hours (70~90 on average), no work-life balance, Slack pings at all hours of day/night, working on Christmas/holidays and options as raises - Constant fear of being laid off regardless of your performance - No diversity

Pros

Full remote flexibility. Interesting technology and passionate community around the products. Smart, talented colleagues who genuinely care about the work.

Cons

Lack of clear strategic direction creates constant whiplash in priorities. CEO micromanages extensively but provides no actionable direction - constantly asserts your approach is wrong without offering viable alternatives or having clear answers himself. Leadership style is characterized by rudeness, emotional outbursts, and anger rather than constructive feedback. Frequent organizational changes and layoffs generate persistent instability and anxiety across teams. This fear-based culture stifles innovation and drives high turnover at all levels.
