- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
I enjoy the people I work with. We get plenty of paid time off.

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Some really kind and capable people work here. Decent benefits, good PTO, reasonable working pace except for sometimes there's a miscommunication and crunch happens.
Cons
Huge turnover, consistent layoffs every year, priorities seem to change wildly chasing trends instead of having a singular company vision. Seems increasingly like they don't know what they're doing and they keep catering to the same aging white sports fan demographic instead of doing something fresh. Hard to feel like you have a career path instead of just doing one task after another.
