Cluttered, haphazard pipeline / technical direction department - Technical Director Reel FX Employee Review

Pros

The people are amazing and fun-loving. Pay is adequate but on the better side of things. Benefits are quite nice.

Cons

In the TD department, the staff is inappropriate. Not enough workers for heavy load. Regarding that, hours are extremely crazy under stress and still painful under normal load. No additional pay for working more hours a week. Best you get is a sandwich for dinner on late nights. Leadership and communication between departments is segmented and tense.

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
