Pros

- You get to fiddle with all these cameras and films and geek out about analogue photography. It's a genuinely rewarding mission but it will quickly stop feeling rewarding.

Cons

- They're very traditional. It is very frustrating when you believe in the mission and the products but the whole team is so delusional about their own outdated ways of marketing. - They're way of tracking performance analytics is by these metrics that don't help very much. You're required to submit metrics but we never interpret it or huddle to discuss how its been performing or re-strategize. - No team meetings, no feedback - Micromanagement - Pay is not competitive at all. They are also very frugal with budgets. - The company culture feels weird, hostile, and their way of comms is slow and secretive. - Teams from international offices tend to not take local teams as seriously. - In my years here, did not get to learn much besides the same marketing strategies which felt more rote. No analytics, no consumer studies. Felt very guerilla marketing.

Pros

- The local team was awesome. A super supportive, fun, and laid-back environment to work in. - You get to connect with amazing creatives, not only within the film photography community but across various disciplines & industries - The workload is enjoyable and you can really make it your own - Lovely staff/employees all around!

Cons

- Employees are severely underpaid & undervalued, especially for US standards. There are no opportunities for raises; even those who have stayed at the company for years are not given raises. The company hires eager young people who are fresh out of college, simply because they can pay them as little as possible. - The owners are unfortunately very disrespectful, hostile and out of line most of the time. On multiple occasions, they spoke negatively about past & current employees behind their backs. Being around them was stressful and uncomfortable. - No flexibility or incentives for employees. There is zero tolerance for remote working, you are expected to be in office 5 days a week. Employees receive bare minimum PTO and health benefits. The owners try very hard to enforce rigid rules & micromanagement, specifically within the US. - The owners expect you to devote your entire life to the company and completely cut out any personal creative endeavors or side hustles.
