Pluspunten

All the PMs and Co workers are really friendly, it’s a remote job, they have a verity of clients and you can have a great portfolio.

Minpunten

The payment is poor, at the beginning I tough it was fair because all the editors have just one client but now that they are growing the editors have to manage more than 1 client. I once had 3 clients for months. They get crazy hiring a bunch of people and then when they lose clients they start to fire people. The performance feedback is not fair at all, de PMs have more power over the editors, even though they make you fill a monthly survey of how you feeling they don’t read it. I’m like the 10th one that fire out of no where and the process they have when let people go is the most inhumane way posible. They make you feel everything is ok, they tell you they are going to pay you your aguinaldo in advance to everyone. (When is actually your finiquito) and then they schedule a meeting and then the charge un this (Petar) says: let’s make this quicke because I’m feeling sick (this happens with 2 ex coworkers friend of mine that I’m still in touch with) and when he said that I knew the next was your performance in here is not enough for the expectations for the company so we are letting you go, please back up all you have while we are in the call, do you have anything to say? My PM looked scared and didn’t know about this decision. I told why is that and he told me it was because communication I told him how so, I communicate all the time with my PM and coworkers and he just told me, the decision is already taken so please upload everything. I told him to give me a few minutes to process everything and give me an hour to upload everything and he told me: no, you must do it right now while we are in a call. Everything with the worst tone, like you did the worst of your performances. So disappointed, they make you feel like you are working in a very transparent and friendly company but they are a really unstable company that hire people like crazy and when they loose clients let go great people that trust in the proyect and in their leaders. Not recommended… for the payment, that trust me is nothing compare with all the workload.and for the performance feedbacks and thers no chance to grow. hope they improve because it started as a honest proyect.

The team is amazing and has beautiful people that really makes the difference. The workload is good, nothing crazy, and you can work from anywhere in the world. They recognize Colombian holidays even when most of the clients are US-based so that's nice.

Minpunten

Upper management is insanely bad. They're completely disconnected from the reality of the company and make arbitrary decisions (mostly budget-related) that affect our financial status and work environment. Wages are really low, especially for video editors, getting a raise is almost impossible, and the CEO says they don't approve more raises because this is an entry-level company. However, they ask us to deliver senior-level results and take part in different activities other than editing, even when we don't have a permanent contract. We're all contractors. They don't give you a computer, the Adobe subscription or money for your internet. And any tool upgrade you need to make is on you. They treat you like a freelancer but demand that you work on a schedule and pay your own social security. Recently they lowered some people's salaries saying "they're taking a broader approach to their compensation". They clearly don't know how to plan or manage throughout the year because they tend to hire a bunch of people when we have a lot of clients, but then some clients cancel, which is normal, and they lay off people in big batches, saying they have "poor performance" so they don't have to pay severance. It's a real bummer because the talent in the company is huge and the people are incredible.

Pluspunten

Super friendly coworkers. Fully Remote and no micro-management. A good place to start if you're a rookie/live with your parents/don't need too much money. Good work-life balance and local holidays (not US-based).

Minpunten

- Everybody I know either has a second job or does freelance work on the side because living on wages this low is impossible. - You work as a contractor, so you have to pay for anything you need for work, and you won't get any social security or compensation if you're laid off. - Pay cuts and layoffs happen. - No benefits, no bonuses, no growth opportunities. Sketchy systems to measure your performance. - TERRIBLE management overall.
