Pros

The people I worked with directly were very kind and generous.

Cons

The company has a goal of amplifying light, but I don’t think this is entirely possible when it consistently makes decisions that undermine or hurt the employees. Angel Studios’ mismanagement of funds or naive executive decision making cause the company to layoff many individuals for little to no reason. Because the company and executives are so inexperienced and at times misguided, there’s a lack of skill in the work they do and that causes job security to feel very insecure. Through this, the company feels very hypocritical in its mission to amplify light. Additionally, if you disagree politically with the company’s libertarian ideals, expect to be on the chopping block.

Pros

Angel pays 100% of dental, health, and vision insurance. Even as it grows it continue to have the 'small start up' energy where there is autonomy and extreme ownership of your role. Everyone has a voice in the product. It's almost as if it's expected to share your voice which I've really loved. it seems rare in the industry. You can tell the executive team really cares for the team. I've seen it year after year and I feel that's why the culture has stayed intact for so long. You work with creative and hardworking individuals.

Cons

Not necessarily a con but it depends on the person - it is a fast paced environment and constantly changing and evolving. Many enjoy that energy but if that's not for you this may not be the place.

Pros

Benefits fully paid for. Some fun people and team members. Weekly on-site lunch for employees. No micro-management. Generally flexible with life events that come up for employees and easy to communicate and work around that kind of stuff if you need to.

Cons

Pretty low compensation and wages compared to similar roles in the industry and state. Favoritism and office politics run rampant compared to other offices I've experienced. Not kidding when I say some teams are given hybrid or fully-remote schedules who live 10 minutes from the office while other teams are told to be in office 5 days a week unless they live further than 50miles from HQ. When asked about this difference their response is simply, "because." (Note: this is for comparable roles that both can be done remote with no issues) Frequently take advantage of their employees' time and skills by asking for "volunteers" to do extra work for no extra compensation. (Phrasing it as an opportunity to do something cool when it's blatantly just wanting free labor) This goes so far to the point that employees who bring up (respectfully) not wanting to do extra unpaid labor are treated as "ungrateful" and at times will actually be fired for refusing to do work outside of their roles. This normally would be illegal, but they claim a footnote in employment contracts that states something along the lines of "...will also do any tasks or assignments the company deems necessary for operation." Not sure how they get away with that, but they do.
