Pros

A flexible clock-in time is one of the few notable benefits offered by the company.

Cons

I'd say most people here are friendly and supportive. However, there is still some workplace toxicity at times. Considering the workload and expectations, the compensation does not feel proportionate to the amount of work required. In addition, the promotion process lacks clear standardization and transparency, which can make career progression feel uncertain.

Pros

good exposure to media industry

Cons

1. judgmental higher ups. 2. intern and full timers gap is very obvious. 3. No wfh at all (must come to office so can “bond” with the team). Didn’t seem that way with that gap

Pros

The people are generally friendly and easy to work with. There are good opportunities to learn, especially if you are willing to take initiative and try different things. The work environment feels quite young and dynamic, and there are occasional company activities that make it more enjoyable.

Cons

Workload can get quite heavy during busy periods especially towards the end of the year, and sometimes the scope of work may go beyond what was originally expected. Processes can also be clearer, especially when multiple teams are involved.
