If you are a strong female with a voice this is not the company for you. If you are then chances are you will report to a male in most cases. The area and the image of Lionsgate being an independent is pretty much on target from the outside. From the inside it can be a vacuum/vortex where you can stay there for years and years and never get out. There is not accountability for the employees who are not performing. They would benefit taking a page from a Netflix culture deck. So many people have been there for so long it is essential for the health of the company to implement a better performance review. Really take into consideration what the subordinates think of their teammates and their supervisor. People cannot seem to take feedback there without getting defensive.

Lionsgate feels like a more responsible, productive version of high school or college. The staff is very young, the managers and executives are (for the most part) gregarious and clearheaded.

My position required work on several different departments, so I got a pretty good feel for the company as a whole. Morale is fairly high and Lionsgate as a company seems to be on the right path despite setbacks here and there.

However, like all entertainment companies, positions are volatile. The Summit merge was reportedly brutal, but most everyone I knew still works and likes it better than ever.

This is an amazing place to intern.  The lead creative executive is a good, caring man who really wants input from his staff.  Script coverage was my main task, and it felt good to give a personal opinion of what I was reading and have it be taken seriously--like I was one of the crew.  Most of the staff are supportive, but one must know when the time is appropriate to interrupt someone when in need of help.  Lots of A-level talent walked through our offices on a daily basis.  One must be discreet, however, when dealing with celebrities.

I have nothing but great things to say about my time interning at Lionsgate. Most companies treat their interns as second class citizens but that was absolutely not the case at Lionsgate, they treated us as apart of the team and always wanted to help us start our career. The management/HR is great, extremely helpful at the end of the internship by giving college seniors 'mock interviews' and allowed all interns to participate in a resume review. The hardest part of the job was not getting paid, which is to be (unfortunately) expected in the entertainment industry, but the experience gained was invaluable.

I have worked at Lionsgate for over two years, and in that time I have seen incredibly high turnover, constant changes in management and an overall lack of appreciation for the company's employees. Most people here are pretty miserable, and are only staying for a) their friends b) the location of the office c) the name recognition or d) the non- monetary perks (i.e movie premieres, free stuff, etc). Morale is very low. You only get promoted if you are lucky enough to have a boss who fights for you to learn on the job, otherwise you are expected to work a higher level job for the same pay for months on end, and you can go 3 or more years with no movement.

On the whole, not a bad place to work. The company offers a lot of great benefits and perks, and coworkers are amazing. Human resources was the best I'd ever dealt with, but was undergoing a radical, top-down change at the time of my departure.  There is some weirdness from the top-floor executives and their underlings with regard to lower-level employees - a kind of stratification that was beginning to take place (a "children should be seen and not heard" sort of vibe) that helped cement my decision to leave.

During my time at Lionsgate I have found that the upper management and employees are extremely helpful and courteous. There are several meetings per week where employees share and collaborate with one another to express opinions and ideas. The office and surrounding neighborhood are very enjoyable and there are numerous lunch options available. The only negative in my opinion is the compensation which is not particularly high, though that seems to be the norm in the industry with regards to entry level positions.

I started at Vidmark Entertainment with little sales or management experience.  They helped me grow into the regional position at Trimark Pictures.  They then challenged me to push harder and higher helping me secure a VP position at Lionsgate.  I then started managing the entire US and Puerto Rico as a SVP of sales.  LG has always provided a fun yet challenging work environment.  They too were supportive of my family needs even when heavy travel was required.

Sadly, the 20% of staff that this company calls "star employees" are those who neglect their actual job duties and get promoted for flashy "big" ideas that they think the board/execs will think are innovative (but generate zero revenue - if they ever come to actual fruition at all). The other 80% hustle each & everyday to get the jobs of 3 people done without any extra pay, much less positive recognition. Demoralizing for those keeping the ship afloat until the much-desired M&A finally happens...

Working for LionsGate Hotel has been a great learning experience for me. Management has been very helpful in my learning to serve in the banquet department.  Every day is very structured.  Hardest part of the job is trying to keep up with all customers and keep them happy. But, it is possible to do.  Working with my fellow servers they are great and well trained in what they do.
