Great company, great team

Visual effects supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented and friendly team. The company is big enough to work on interesting and challenging projects, but not too big and you feel you can have your say and have a meaningful impact.

Cons

Not being as big as other visual effects companies means to you have slightly less wiggle room should the projects get delayed or require new artists. That said, that is true everywhere else, the puzzle is slightly more complicated to put together.
