MindGeek Reviews

Challenging job ad the competition is to much.

easy to lay off people

I don't see cons, sorry!

Management is way overpaid in comparison to the employees who actually do the work. This wouldn't be so bad if management wasn't incompetent, or the fact they brag about it in the lunch room. Rampant sexual harassment of females (behind their backs).

They lie about what the job description will be about. HR at this company could possibly be worse than the managers. I've referred my friends when starting out to work for this company, but they came back to me saying they hid the fact the job was basically screening for child porn 8 hours a day. Yeah, a "content formatter" is someone who sits in from of a computer, and watches user uploaded porn videos all day long, and must make detailed notes if they come across child pornography or gore. Beware, they probably changed the name of the job to something even more vague.

If you ever have a meeting with a manager or anyone in HR, they will outright lie to you. You cannot take anything they say at face value.

Turnover can be high, certain managers are not necessarily qualified for their position. Overall, it is a decent place to work and grow

It used to be a stable company. Now not so much. They laid off over 100 people and then starting hiring again 200 more.

Upper management have it's own agenda. They make huge restructural changes without taking into much consideration their employees. This is causing a lot of discontent and the highest turnover the company has ever had.

They are cutting off on the amount social events that we used to have. They also removed, the always given, Xmas bonus (without warning). And now they are lowering the amount on the yearly salary increases. They are cutting budgets from a lot of different places. For new employees, it wouldn't make a difference but for people that have been there for years, all this changes are disappointing and discouraging.

Non standardized salaries.

There is enough information about this company here. I worked at MindGeek (formerly Manwin) for slightly more than three years then was a part of that huge (over 100 employees) lay off which they made in October 2013. A month later they renamed the company, then received new investment. Now they are hiring again! Weird strategy isn't it? Their HR is severely lacking skills. The employees they hiring are sometime hard to understand not only to work with. Still there are some bright heads, not many, mostly among those who were hired 4-6 yrs ago by former HR staff/management. If you're talented, energetic and plan to grow, then don't waste your time, forget it. Nepotism and lack of management skills are the diseases of this business. If you just need a job and paycheck, and don't mind to have a porn company in your CV, then good luck. For more information/opinions about MindGeek search for "Manwin" on here and other sites. There are over 70+ reviews.

Compare to any previous place I worked for, this company gets highest rate.

As in every big multinational company, any change takes time to happen. Promotions, budget approvals, strategies approval and other decisions take time.

One can argue that there are some questionable individuals in high level positions, but that applies to just about every company. Listen ... the hardiest working employee don't always get the promotion, it's the hardiest working individual that is well liked. That is the real world. I don't want a some social hermit with no communication skills running a team.
