Pros

You will see this one a lot here. But the people are the best part of the company. VFX people are amazing and passionate about what they do, and because of the company’s reputation and clientele, it attracts talented people.

Cons

The company mistreats its employees and says it's "industry standard." However, it is one of the biggest companies in its niche, and it sets the standards. Low pay, unsustainable hours for staff. Late payment and little regard for freelancers. Layoffs are frequent, and promotions/raises are rare. Whatever heart the company had before mergers is gone. It truly is a heartless company!
