Blue Sky Studios reviews

Active effort on the part of management to suppress any innovation, advancement of the craft, and other hard to quantify budgetary "unknowns". If it's not faster/cheaper, or you can't prove it's faster/cheaper, or you can prove it but they don't get it, then don't bother. Leadership is basically a good-old boys/girls club. They systematically weed out anyone trying to push creative or technical boundaries and replace them with Company men/women that fall in line. Most people that stick around for the long term do it less out of genuine loyalty and feeling rewarded and more because they either have family in the area or have gotten used to a steady paycheck with pretty much minimal effort. Can't argue with a system that gives you steady employment and puts your kids through college, but every day feels like your selling yourself out just a little bit more.

Low Pay Located in the middle of nowhere Underwhelming projects Part of FOX The directors are amateurs and FOX plays too big of a role in making artistic decisions Very out-of-date technology, Research & Development way behind compared to Disney or Dreamworks Layoffs are rare Leadership is congested with 50-80 years old with egos who are stuck in the past and won't make way for new talent Not the place to be if you care about your craft or career You could show up to work drunk and you still wouldn't get fired Zero trust in the leadership Zero African-Americans in most departments Zero Muslims in most departments Won't be around for long if their movies don't stay competitive with Disney or Dreamworks
