Pros

Young company! Lots of hunger to prove themselves and create great art. The desire to do better and better as an artist is very evident. Another benefit is that the small team means that you are given more chances to work on things that are far above your pay grade. The building is nice as well, especially after the renovation.

Cons

The entire business model of Reel FX is based around taking advantage of the thirst of the young talent. They assign projects which are incredibly difficult and basically impossible to finish in the allotted time given. They do that because they know that the young people working will work tons and tons of overtime to get the work done and to a very high quality. A quality which is much higher than what they are paying for. Overall they subsidize their business model by taking advantage of the people they hire. That causes a lot of people to get depressed and suffer from burn out.

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
