No respect from senior management for employees and their hard work. They "talk to talk" but don't "walk the walk".

Pros

If you are lucky to work for a good supervisor, it is a good place to work. Interesting product and lots of brand recognition.

Cons

The CEO's and senior management do not respect employees and are mostly concerned with their own salaries.

Terrible Company

Pros

Can’t think of a single one.

Cons

Just an absolute terrible company overall that doesn’t appreciate the cultures, religions, or values of their own employees while continuing to shove their propaganda down the throats of their hardworking team. Absolute garbage pay, total slap in the face when approaching topics around EARNED increases. Not to mention asking people to show up to the office 5 days a week, regardless of the constant conflicting messaging around the topic. These are all the result of an extremely ancient and predominantly WHITE executive team. I’m surprised IMAX has made it this far by sweeping as many of their serious issues under the rug - maybe I can put ”Great PR Team” in Pros.

Pros

good coffee, parking, and bathrooms

Cons

Leadership in Playa Vista creates a toxic, back-biting and unproductive workplace. There is no real leadership, only gossip, confusion, ego and an extreme lack of trust.
