Stressful work environment

Pros

The people here are great. Artists are very talented and passionate about their work. Lots of snacks, beer on Fridays.

Cons

Jobs are underbid to win projects. EPs take on projects knowing there are not enough resources available and everyone is expected to make it work. Teams have to scramble and work late nights/weekends to meet deadlines. Clients are the top priority, so employee needs are not heard. Artists are treated like machines. Everyone in production has too much on their plate. HR exists to protect the company, not to support employees. Be prepared to be publicly scolded if you make any small mistake. Higher ups and HR will try to make you feel like you don't deserve to work here if you complain about anything. Both HR and higher ups use manipulation often.

People are dropping like flies

Pros

Good people work there. The studio looks nice and there is a fun happy hour.

Cons

Artists and anyone that aren't favored are treated poorly. Bad pay- focused on paying higher ups but won't shell it out on the people who are actually making the work. They should look into their HR person. Loads of negativity coming from the top tier down and it's nasty, it's not just one person it's BOTH. People are dropping like flies and nearly everyone is looking for new work or wanting to leave and management still doesn't see it. The kitchen smells.

Pros

They have chocolate chip cookies at 3pm.

Cons

After 10 years of experience in the visual effects industry, this company is by far the most lying, cheapest and diabolical studio in the word. I did feel they wanted to make the new fledgling Montreal studio the exception: however it quickly became corrupted like the rest of the company due to its obsession with cutting costs. Those who had their contracts arbitrarily shortened "just happened" to be intermediates or seniors who are non Quebecois (translation: they cost more to employ and do not receive as much tax subsidies for those employees). Once the opportunity arises they will replace you with 3 juniors before you can say "Vive le Quebec libre."
