Pros

* Fun company, great people, smart people, great atmosphere * Get to take ownership and impact the technology used if you are driven and passionate (and talented enough) * in Dallas (vs Southern California)

Cons

* amazingly wasted amounts of skill and talent * Sr. Mgmt. team (with maybe 2 exceptions) makes questionable direction and company investment decisions. No clear leadership or direction from above * Sr. Mgmt expects to be served by the employees (when they should be focused on serving the employees themselves - leadership means serving those you lead!) * slaves to doing it 'the old way' - "don't have time to make it better, just get it done" * abuse employees with low pay and long hours

Pros

Reel FX offers a range of roles from getting your foot in the door to the industry to working with directors creating feature film animations. While I was there, everyone I worked with were the most wonderful and talented people I’ve ever met.

Cons

I don’t contribute this to Reel FX, but the industry as a whole is pretty volatile
