Pros

Extremely competent colleagues.

Fast-paced.

Incredibly transparent.

The culture is amazing.

Benefits are amazing.

Everyone here wants to do a good job.

Management is being serious about diversity, and it shows in their hiring.

We're given incredible autonomy to execute how we see best. I've never even heard of a company that gives individual contributors such autonomy!

I bet if we decided to build a spacecraft, we could pivot and have an MVP in orbit by the end of 2017.

It's also pretty neat to work for a movie studio, basically. Certainly much different than most companies in the Valley.

Cons

It's a little far down in the South Bay (Los Gatos), but there's a shuttle from SF.

Deadlines can be intense, and you really have to be an advocate for your time. If you're not an assertive person (or can't learn to be), then you will probably be overworked here.

Advice to Management

Make sure to stick to your guns as far as the culture deck is concerned.
