Playboy reviews

Playboy fails to fully utilize the potential of its employees - more so as time goes by. They waste talented people on mediocre projects. This is perhaps more insulting than the fact that upper management guards their knowledge very closely, keeping employees in their place with ignorance. Red tape and micromanagement makes it difficult to get much done too. This is typical for large corporations but I saw it more here.

There is a surprising amount of churn and it is a politically charged environment. HR is ridiculously conservative and scared of anything that might be deemed questionable or out of bounds. Moreover, the company really suffers from a dual identity: they consider themselves to be a lifestyle brand and not pornographers, although a sizable amount of their online revenue is derived from reality porn and hardcore subscription video sites and partnerships with a major online adult player. very confused really. one gets the distinct feeling that the ship is sinking and there is a limited amount of time left to capitalize on the brand equity that was built up in the baby boom generation. all that will be left one day is probably a licensing division, the rest will go under eventually.
