Pros

Working in entertainment is fun, everyone is passionate and has a love for anime. The people are lovely.

Cons

Leadership is so disconnected, morale is low, work life balance is terrible for many of the teams. To make matters worse leadership decides to set new RTO mandate 3 days a week when many Crunchyrollers do not live locally by their offices and were hired remotely during COVID. We can already see the writing on the wall that leadership intends to use badge swipes into the office as a factor in performance reviews and bonuses. Crunchyroll is no different than any of the mega corps that do not value employee well being and constantly contradicts its own supposed core values of empathy in favor of filled desks. During our All Hands meetings leadership always ignores questions of actual concern raised by employees in favor of those of fake corporate optimism. I'm so tired of seeing how this company consistently chooses to not hear out the concerns of its employees.
