Pros

Free snacks and sparkling water

Cons

Studio Oh/ Orange Circle Studio (Now goes by Whimsocal) is a sinking ship. A company who once proudly paraded that they uplifted women artists and stood for a good cause is now just a hallow shell of what they once were. They’ve laid off a substantial amount of their staff in the last few months. In a society where losing your job to ai is a real and genuine threat and the proven massive negative environmental impact it creates, the company is championing its use and encouraging very heavy-handedly that everyone must start using it for as much as they can in their workflow. Upper management only cares about their own livelihood, providing no advocacy for their employees and forcing unreasonable deadlines for an insulting amount of pay. They have begun outsourcing entire teams of people who have been with the company for years and chase profit over morals. Studio Oh (Whimsocal) is a spineless and greedy company that will turn and burn every employee until there is nothing left. Do not take a job here.

Pros

Be prepared to work hard at Orange Circle Studio but know you will be well rewarded for your efforts. From free beverages and free snacks to bonuses and fun events, there’s lots to look forward to. The work culture and personal life balance are second to none. The managers at all levels, up to the CEO are reflective and are always striving to improve. Daniel has built a fantastic team and it's refreshing to be a part of something that you know has a positive impact.

Cons

Pretty much every company is recruiting. Orange Circle Studio is no different and is also advertising lots of new roles, hopefully the company will attract more talented individuals and the business continues to grow with large aspirations in the next 3, 5, 10 years. Workload can be heavy at times, but that’s only natural if you’re trying to do great things.

Pros

Talented coworkers and 401K matching

Cons

Where do I even begin? I didn’t want to waste another ounce of energy on this company but if I can prevent even one person from accepting a job here then it’ll be worth it. Whimsocal Studios (Orange Circle Studio, Studio Oh, Saturday Sundae, and the dozen other names/brands that this company is associated with) is emblematic of everything that is wrong with corporate America. All the 1 star reviews of this company on Glassdoor are accurate and don’t even begin to scratch the surface of what a nightmare this company is. They will offer no training, pay you pennies, work you to the bone, expect the impossible, and then when you meet or exceed their absurd deadlines they will tell you you’re still not doing enough. Then they will lay you off (no joke). Extreme disorganization and incompetent leadership (from the owner of the company to the CEO to VPs) to the point where it’s laughable. They don’t have a single clue of all the work that people do here on a daily basis and they certainly don’t care. This company is failing its mostly fantastic employees that somehow still keep this company up and running. All to produce useless garbage in plastic packaging. For your mental wellbeing, I beg you to work anywhere but here.
