Pros

- Under the Jeff Blake regime (Chairman), the studio was in it's heyday during the 21st Century. Great leadership. - Incredible history on the former MGM studio lot - Convenient location near restaurants, bars, stores in Culver City - Used to have award worthy films that employees were proud to work on.

Cons

- As of 2015, the new management has made life very difficult for employees. - Many people leaving or unceremoniously being pushed out. - This creates a toxic environment that even HR can't even control.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
