Pros

Teams are really nice. Workload is manageable for the most part.

Cons

Got transferred between divisions (feature animation to VFX) without consent. Doubled my workload at the end of my contract. After Covid my contract was extended month by month creating a lot of instability. Felt a little disposable for the company
