Pros

Great structure to intern program, and highly developed program. Would reccomend to anyone with an interest in entertainment or technology.

Cons

Don't retain interns or offer many opportunities post-grad. More connections in between interns and facilitate mixers or lunches.

Pros

Working at IMAX gives me a sense of pride because of its strong brand and cutting-edge cinema technology. I enjoy collaborating with supportive colleagues and being part of exciting projects. The benefits and movie-related perks are nice, and overall, I find the work engaging and aligned with industry standards.

Cons

At IMAX, I sometimes feel frustrated by inconsistent leadership and limited opportunities for career growth. The pay can feel average compared to expectations. I’ve noticed communication issues and occasional uncertainty in company direction. Work-life balance can also be challenging, especially with changing policies and management decisions.
