Hulu *Magic* – A look inside a web company’s business culture (Part: 1)
As social networks such as Facebook and Twitter continue to become household names, a lot of young, creative and passionate adults are now being hired to work at many of these powerhouse website companies.
With many similar companies springing up every year, the traditional 9-to-5 job model is slowly changing. For most Americans, the stereotypical corporate job model looks something like this…
- White walls and a bunch of cubicles
- Limited lunch breaks
- Hours of misery and monotony
- Wearing a title just to feel some sense of importance
- Doing stuff you hate just to make a buck
- Looking forward to the weekend
- Hating Sunday nights (lol)
…but for many of these upcoming young and fresh college grads and thrill seekers – who are being hired to work for web companies like Google and Facebook – work is becoming far more different. Work for these guys is becoming more about what they love than what they hate.
One very unique example of a company that is helping to build this awesomely creative work culture in America is Hulu.com.
Hulu is a web company that focuses on one thing… TV on your terms. The official website, Hulu.com, offers premium video content for TV shows, video clips, and movies. With 1,500 shows from 170 leading content companies such as FOX, NBC, Paramount, and MTV, Hulu is your one-stop-shop for many of your favorite shows and movies.
Providing an alternative for television viewers, Hulu allows users to sign up for a free account where they can interact with other users, subscribe to their favorite TV shows and watch any and all episodes once they are made available.
Here’s a snippet from Hulu about their website:
