Dynamic with lots of potential

Pros

The team (feature animation) is very dynamic, its like a big family. If things aren't all perfect, people are working hard to make it better. It's the place to be in Montreal. You get very competitive salaries once you've proven yourself.

Cons

Still needs a bit more time to develop a flawless pipeline.

If you have talent but screwed up somewhere else, this is home!

Pros

Lots of amazing people from many backgrounds that you wonder what the bloody hell are you doing here.

Cons

Cliques, Cliques, Cliques and guess what... more Cliques. The company feels like a high school, people act like they are in a high school and some of the content that is produced belongs to the same league of a high school. Tons of people act like they own the company and hurt it either intentionally or by accident.

Full of potential but not artist-oriented enough :/

Pros

There's a lot of talented people if you're able to get through all of the others who claims to be talented but truly are not that talented. Not too much overtime. Work hours 8am-5pm which is cool.

Cons

No team spirits. A lot of ego with a lot of people. No communication and no internal evolution. Not the best work environment. It's a shame because it has a lot a potential to be amazing.
