Pros

Talented coworkers and 401K matching

Cons

Where do I even begin? I didn’t want to waste another ounce of energy on this company but if I can prevent even one person from accepting a job here then it’ll be worth it. Whimsocal Studios (Orange Circle Studio, Studio Oh, Saturday Sundae, and the dozen other names/brands that this company is associated with) is emblematic of everything that is wrong with corporate America. All the 1 star reviews of this company on Glassdoor are accurate and don’t even begin to scratch the surface of what a nightmare this company is. They will offer no training, pay you pennies, work you to the bone, expect the impossible, and then when you meet or exceed their absurd deadlines they will tell you you’re still not doing enough. Then they will lay you off (no joke). Extreme disorganization and incompetent leadership (from the owner of the company to the CEO to VPs) to the point where it’s laughable. They don’t have a single clue of all the work that people do here on a daily basis and they certainly don’t care. This company is failing its mostly fantastic employees that somehow still keep this company up and running. All to produce useless garbage in plastic packaging. For your mental wellbeing, I beg you to work anywhere but here.

Pros

Be prepared to work hard at Orange Circle Studio but know you will be well rewarded for your efforts. From free beverages and free snacks to bonuses and fun events, there’s lots to look forward to. The work culture and personal life balance are second to none. The managers at all levels, up to the CEO are reflective and are always striving to improve. Daniel has built a fantastic team and it's refreshing to be a part of something that you know has a positive impact.

Cons

Pretty much every company is recruiting. Orange Circle Studio is no different and is also advertising lots of new roles, hopefully the company will attract more talented individuals and the business continues to grow with large aspirations in the next 3, 5, 10 years. Workload can be heavy at times, but that’s only natural if you’re trying to do great things.

Pros

- Most coworkers are very kind and talented people which help make working here a little more bearable. - 401K match offered. - Office snacks provided and occasional lunch.

Cons

*NOTE: Orange Circle Studio was recently rebranded to Whimsocal. - Leadership, particularly the CEO, is shockingly incompetent and seems to make a lot of reckless and questionable decisions. They seem to have VERY little understanding of the actual work that goes into roles at the company. In turn they show a clear lack of respect for certain employees & under-value many of them. - They set you up for failure with unmanageable workloads/no support, yet are delusional about the results they expect (perfection). - If you do a good job they will try every chance they get to 'reward' you with more work for likely no additional compensation. - Leadership can also be VERY passive-aggressive, patronizing, and rude to certain employees (especially ones they seemingly do not like) leading to a very toxic work environment. I was shocked & disgusted to see how some of my coworkers were treated.
