Pros

Very good and supportive friends in the Miami office. They will run the extra mile in order to support and help you in bad times against the oppression and unfair situations. Interaction with major Global entertainment companies of the world gives you a great networking, strong background in licensing, product development, marketing and entertainment. Also gives you an Edge in the labor market. You will learn a lot, specially about how successfully launch products driven by entertainment and hot licenses

Cons

New senior leaders of the Lain America region are hugely under-qualified. I am ashamed about how noticeable are the lack of capabilities and very poor qualifications of our senior leaders. No qualifications whatsoever to lead a region. No organizational nor managerial skills. They do not care about people nor its development, they are only focused on Mexico. The HR department is a real joke. Suffice to say that it is not more than a well-paid group of clerks doing the errands from senior management. They have no leadership, influence or management power. The most not trustworthy team I have ever met. They are the perfect example of what an HR Department should not be. In the Latin America organization, if you are Mexican, you will do fine. If you are not Mexican, you do not have a career. Ethnic nepotism and bias at his highest expression. If you were lay off for low performance, it doesn't matter. If you are a friend of the current Senior Management team, they will hire you back. No integrity, no equal opportunities, no consistency, pure favoritism. This is the closest thing to a Mom & Pop operation. Recognition is very low and engagement is very poor. It doesn’t matter If you have the qualifications or several post graduate degrees. The senior leaders will always favor Mexico. Benefits are not good. After talking with friends working for a key global entertainment partner, benefits are much better in serious and reputable entertainment companies.

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
