What's the company culture like at HBO?
Лучший ответ сотрудника
They say that they take the best parts of Amazon, Google, and Microsoft but the worst parts of those cultures come out day to day in a Game of Thrones way. Highly political, lots of unchecked nepotism.
Leadership is very insular, controlling, and not growth oriented. Nepotism, backstabbing, and telling lies about employees by the leads is the norm. If someone is a threat to the employees protected by the mgmt chain, they're isolated, disrespectfully treated, and managed out swiftly.

What is the best advice you could give someone during their first month at Warner Bros.?
Immerse yourself with the numerous programs, benefits, and studio activities there are. Take walks on the lot and talk to people. Whether you're an introvert or not, getting out and communicating will always remind you of the tremendous people you're working alongside with. And be sure to sign up for the fitness program so you can accumulate points, get your steps in, and reap some rewards.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Turner Classic Movies?
I'd replace most of the people in upper management.
What's the work from home policy like at Rooster Teeth?
it depends on who you are and what department you're in. If you're low on the totem pole you're going to be at your desk every day. If you gain some trust, they might let you work outside of the office.

There is absolutely NO work from home policy at CNN
Why work for CNN?
Great opportunity to work at no. 1 media company in the US with worldwide impact
How does Turner Classic Movies measure success and growth in the Marketing department?
Very difficult to determine. It would be fair to say the VP in charge is in over their head.
How innovative is Rooster Teeth?
Лучший ответ сотрудника
I think they'd say that they're very innovative but that innovation has gone down over time. They tend to want to stamp out different versions of one show. Oh, a role-playing show works for one group, let's make four more. Let's take more audio and make an animation out of it. Even shows that are live-action cartoons to begin with, end up getting cartoon versions. There's a lot of that type of thinking inside of the organization. There's also a distinct lack of interest in the world outside of the company. Writers and directors who have never had a job outside of Rooster Teeth think more highly of themselves than they probably should which helps create a mindset that isn't interested in things that aren't created by them. That causes the people making the decisions in those departments to miss out on lots of opportunities.
How does Rooster Teeth handle HR issues?
It depends on whether or not you're an on-camera 'celebrity' or a regular employee. There are many exemptions for bad behavior by the 'talent'. That could just be because there's a club of 'friends' or because the company generally thinks that the talent are more important. The actual HR experience tends to be very carrot and stick. HR will be your friend until there's a problem and then afterward they tow the company line. They're basically the company's enforcers. Good people, but enforcers.
What's the pay like for Business Development roles at Warner Bros.?
WB pays well compared to other studios. If you benchmark vs. Hollywood, WB pay is usually above the mean.
What's the vibe like in the Business Development dept at Warner Bros.? How many hours are you working?
Normal. It's not a sweatshop.
How's the leadership on the Business Development team at Warner Bros.?
WB produces the most film and TV product in Hollywood, so the leadership thinks at scale. They tend to be cautious about unintended consequences, so there's a good amount of analysis required before making major decisions. The reason for this is their market leadership in terms of volume - it makes sense to protect their scale.
What's the Business Development team like at Warner Bros.?
Very nice people! Down-to-earth and good to work with. Their thinking is focused on product extensions (VR, for example) rather than other areas.
How long do the interviews usually take at HBO?
Usually two weeks, with around two to three rounds of interviews. Overall, not long and somewhat standard.
What's the Design team like at Bleacher Report?
Talented individuals who are capable of leading and enhancing any project given to them.
How's the leadership on the Design team at Bleacher Report?
Top notch leader who promotes growth, team, culture and sets you up for success
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Bleacher Report?
How bad leadership is on the Product side of the company
What's the pay like for Product roles at Discovery Communications?
Competitive based off experience and the department/office. I have seen salary requirements fought for if you’re good.
How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at HBO?
Very easy, in general work life balance is the best I have seen, there might be 1-2 months a year where we work harder but in general is really good
