Business Outlook
Pros
Alex, Ben, and Lap (our leadership team) truly care about the welfare of their employees and regularly roll out new initiatives and perks to improve our benefits packages. Magnopus is growing very quickly and they are focused on making thoughtful decisions as we evolve into a larger company. Culture is a huge selling point as Magnopus is full of highly talented individuals who also happen to be great people. Fun clubs at lunch! Overall great work/life balance (some crunch time close to deadlines, but nothing excessive). Plus, we're working on amazing projects!
Cons
Would be nice to have additional choices for health insurance. The onsite parking situation can be pretty hectic (though it is paid for by the company and you're guaranteed a parking spot). DTLA commute is a pain, but the company will pay for your Metro pass to take the train or bus if you'd rather not drive.

Thanks for your feedback! We're happy to hear that that you're happy.
Regarding Health Insurance, we're always fighting to get the best benefits for employees and yet keep it simple to navigate. We're aiming for some benefits this year that will be improved, and if there's specific health insurance concerns or requests you're looking for, please always talk to our friends in HR to let us know so we can make adjustments. Same with Parking. We've tested other parking solutions and found them to be "sub-optimal." We're very supportive of alternative transportation plans and often work with employees at the individual level to reduce the suck.
Thanks for the advice on new management positions! We've made sure that we talk to all our candidates for these positions, and let them know how important it is that they protect and grow the culture that we've all built here. So far I think all our hires are as committed to it as we are.
- Visionary and skilled Leadership
- Working on the cutting edge
- Job stability in an industry that infamously has no stability and is primarily contract based.
- Big, meaty, meaningful projects in the entertainment industry.
- Leadership offers best possible benefits to full time employees they can offer.
- Culture and people are fantastic.
Cons
- Work is project based, which means tight deadlines on high profile projects for clients can severely limit ability to have any work / life balance for unpredictable amounts of time. This is the reality of the business we are in, but worth mentioning!
