Pros

Everyday I work with an excellent, motivated, friendly and down to earth group of people. You all ultimately work on family friendly projects that you can be proud of. Technical roles can require a mix of technical skills supplemented by an artistic background. General hours are not as hectic as the majority of the CG industry. Great perks.

Cons

The TD role can earn a smaller salary when compared with a vanilla software engineering job, but it is comparable to similar roles in the VFX industry and is balanced by a good working environment.
