Svantaggi
Don’t let the parent organization names fool you. This is not a glamorous studio job. There’s a reason Universal and Warner tied a bow on their home entertainment organizations and sent them off to a separate, private company. (When is the last time you bought a DVD or Blu Ray? …Exactly). Pay is below average, but that’s expected from a below average company. No employee stock purchase plans for parent studio companies or any real studio benefits (unless you count receiving a free DVD every once in a while). A majority of the those in leadership positions have been in the home entertainment (AKA DVD) industry for their entire careers (earning their titles by somehow surviving layoff after layoff at other studios), and cannot grasp the way things work on their own teams nor have any idea how a true world class organization is run. Again, don’t confuse this company with the well known names that own it. SDS has seen a scary number of their top talent leave for better opportunities or has let talent go for not coming into the office 3 days per week (despite the company having started entirely remotely) because leadership cannot seem to grasp that we’re now in the post-COVID 21st century. I suppose this is fitting considering the company is in the dying industry of selling DVDs.
