Vantaggi
In the big picture, Lionsgate is still a fledgling studio. This has proved good and bad for workplace environment. Overall some pluses are the people. People at Lionsgate overall have a team player attitude and are friendly and enjoyable to work with. Great location (next to the Water Garden/HBO/Viacom) in Santa Monica and management supports a healthy work/life balance.
Svantaggi
Little standardization (though this is changing) for performance metrics and measurement from department to department and boss to boss. This makes things very political as people take note of who does what and who gets promoted when. Also, the Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate merger created 2 of everything when the companies merged. Most of the duplicate positions/teams have been eliminated (by layoffs) but there remains a weird vibe from the top. Also, hard to be promoted from within and pay in the entry level and middle level positions is not comparable to other studios and large entertainment companies.
