Warner Bros. reviews

Zero innovation, or desire to innovate. Weak management. Grinding out, what are now getting to be very vanilla, sequels and prequels based on brands that have worked in the past. Lack of vision on and understanding on what gamers actually want. Very flat atmosphere in the office and a general feeling that its all going horribly wrong. Permanent headcount freezes and when people leave, they are not replaced.....so it looks and feels like a sinking ship. A weak and ineffective senior management makes things worse. Lack of communication from the top down and the senior management act like a closed, members only, club. There is a fear of rocking the corporate boat, so lots and lots of corporate a** covering and as a result everything is getting stifled.

You're in Hollywood. It's the most political and corporate environment you'll ever come across. Infighting is common place among VPs who are more concerned with protecting their jobs and workspace over the success of a department. If you have an idea, you should't share it because it could come off as "against the grain" and you'll either get reprimanded (in my case) or get shafted by the executive in charge that you're not a team player. Been in many meetings where VPs just scream at each other because the other person didn't get their way or because the other person clearly wasn't listening. It's pretty petty at the higher level and very little good comes from it because it's clear everyone cares too much about their own egos over having some humility for once. In terms of hiring - their mentality is "cheaper is better" and they leverage that against you. WB does not pay well if you're anything under a Director. Even for managers it's pretty insulting the amount of hours they expect you to input and the lack of recognition in any regard. You don't want to spend your career here because you won't get recognized. They care more about "how we did things the past few decades" instead of truly innovating. You'll just be a number here and the company culture creates a sense of insecurity and unwillingness to share new ideas because those that do... always get shafted or reprimanded or shut down outright.
