      Pros

      The San Francisco technology team was fantastic to be a part of. They were very smart & specialized and making great momentum on the product. The product itself was very cool and fun to be a part of.

      Cons

      In September / October 2015 a major restructure took place, which involved removing tech leadership. The Nashville-based headquarters' solution for the new lack of leadership was to outsource to an agency at a hefty price tag, who did not magically solve all of their problems. Since then, the entirety of the SF tech team has quit voluntarily or been fired/laid off. New leadership was brought in who immediately laid off the remainder of the engineering staff to "start fresh". Which is where things stand as of now. The audacity of the new leadership on the same day of these terminations to post a glassdoor review stating the company is "finally hitting their stride" is jaw-dropping. Not to mention them uploading images of the engineering staff they just dissolved as some attempted proof that StudioNow is a good / fun company to work for. Do NOT be lured. This company is heading the completely wrong direction. If you interview with studionow, ask to meet the engineering team. There is no team. It's a ghost town.

      I’m very sorry that you were disappointed and affected by the recent reorganization of our SF office. We could not have accomplished the level of growth and value that we’ve brought to our clients without dedication like yours. We hope you know that changes like this aren’t personal, but we understand that they feel that way. Our engagement with Pivotal Labs did not solve all of our problems, but it did show us how we need to improve. It was an invaluable experience that helped us understand how to better structure teams and processes that will take our products to the next level. One of the unfortunate side effects of our improvements was the necessity to restructure the team with the right mix of skills under the right kind of leadership. Making this decision was not an easy one and it should not, in any way whatsoever, diminish the contribution that you have made to help us get to where we we are today.

      Pros

      Above average pay for a freelance producer. Team prioritized deliverables, deadline, budget, and quality of work. They weren't rigid about day to day schedule, the approvals process was simple, and I never felt like I was being micromanaged.

      Cons

      Not many. Granted, my project manager who I felt was exceptional is no longer with the company - so perhaps experiences vary depending on who you're reporting to. My only critique was that the in-house team was of little assistance in helping to acquire product for the shoot. It wasn't a major headache, but you would just assume they'd have access to the products they're asking you to feature in the ads.

      Pros

      Team was small and helpful

      Cons

      Don't get paid enough for what you do. No true training module, Company is small and growing so its not 100% organized.
