Pros

Great health benefits package and non-monetary compensation reasonable work load, not highly stressful Great perks like movie tickets fun Technology to work with

Cons

very few opportunities for career advances, in fact many managers seems to not care about staff career at all. non-supportive HR in general, mostly take upper management sides. Technical expertise are not well perceived, soft skills are much valued by upper management

Pros

- can be used as a good learning ground but if you are willing to put extra hours. - colleagues are really good.

Cons

So many cons. 1 . In the same meeting that CFO talks about millions of revenue and calling it an exceptional year. CFO would also tell you that people are taking snacks home and they should not abuse a perk. Stop asking people to work from home after office hours then. Thats also abusing the authority and making your team's personal life hell. 2. They have such turn over but they are still arrogant in their ways and refuse to address the issue and problem 3. CEO & CFO talk about all the sweet things in town halls about how amazing IMAX is doing but they don't care that some of their employees are working 60-80 hours a week. 3. They are just bullies who would be nice in front of camera but off camera they are in human, cruel and selfish management

Pros

Above average benefits. Talented group of employees.

Cons

Poor company culture. Minimal opportunities for career growth. IMAX has reduced all employee schedules and OT opportunities as a cost saving measure during the pandemic. But hourly workers are still encouraged to work OT and on our off days without pay. It has happened in all departments from Post to Distribution to Marketing.
