Pros
There are genuinely talented, hardworking people at Scene who care about doing good work and want the company to succeed. Unfortunately, many of those employees end up carrying a disproportionate share of the workload while less effective people coast by. In my experience, the people who consistently deliver strong results are often rewarded with even more responsibility instead of meaningful recognition or career growth. It's not surprising that many of the strongest employees eventually leave for better opportunities.
Cons
My experience at Scene was overwhelmingly negative. There was a constant disconnect between leadership's messaging and what employees actually experienced day to day. "Transparency" and "collaboration" were frequently talked about, but major decisions often came without meaningful communication or employee input. Priorities changed constantly, making it difficult to complete projects before they were replaced by the next "urgent" initiative. Instead of solving underlying organizational issues, the company often seemed to react to problems without addressing the root causes. This created unnecessary stress and a lot of wasted effort. Career development felt inconsistent. Advancement appeared unpredictable, feedback wasn't always actionable, and recognition often came in the form of additional responsibilities rather than meaningful opportunities for growth. Morale was noticeably low during my time there, and it wasn't difficult to understand why. There were many capable employees who wanted to make a positive impact, but the environment often made that far more difficult than it needed to be.
