Extremely chill company full of genuinely nice people. Everyone cares a lot about their work, but the work-life balance is the best I've ever experienced in tech. Leadership really seems to listen to employee requests and works hard to make everyone feel welcome. Great engineering culture - I really appreciate the focus on internal tools to make engineers' lives easier. Benefits are excellent, particularly the extremely generous 401k match.
Product priorities change a lot. As we move towards creating more business and enterprise tools, I sometimes worry about our relationship with our OG customers in the film industry. Salaries are fine, but don't expect to be getting FAANG-level comp here.
Allow engineering teams to work on more technical foundation projects and shore up legacy code. I know there is always something new and exciting coming down the pike, but taking good care of our legacy systems and making them more extensible will benefit us in the long run. Trust your engineers when they say that this stuff is important.

Typical interview process for engineering roles; nothing out of the ordinary. I really enjoyed everyone that I spoke with, and the process was transparent and smooth. * Recruiter call * Interview with hiring manager * Technical assessment * Virtual
