Pros

The company culture and management were good. The small and mature teams worked well together.

Cons

Recently the company was acquired by another investor and they 'restructured' the teams by making 50% of the company redundant, alleging the company would bankrupt in months if continue as it was, and I found it an interesting thing to be said, as investors. I believe the company culture has changed and likely not in a good way, as people with almost a decade of service, was made redundant in a matter of days after the new board comes along.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to step up to the plate and expand your skill set. Expected to take on a variety of roles and so it's never dull working here. I find the work here very challenging - in a good way. Management and colleagues have been very helpful and they do mentor you despite the resource constraints. Flexible working hours means you get to manage your own time. Senior staff are very much in the know about the online video industry and you get some interesting knowledge sharing from them.

Cons

The often long (and erratic) hours means you can forget about work-life balance. The company is more suited to someone who is ambitious and is happy to put in long hours and either has an understanding family/friends or is a career-minded single. You'll need to be passionate about what you do at work. Otherwise, the pros mentioned above could get to you. Laziness, especially, is not tolerated (thank god!) and some staff had to be asked to leave as a result. Getting rid of these people has resulted in a more efficient work place - This is not necessarily a con.
