MPC reviews

A large amount of shot work on multiple huge shows at once put a strain on organization, leads and resources. Some very repetitive tasks. Pressure to deliver shots in barely possible time frames. Sometimes very badly organized (especially in between departments). Some Lead Artists barely speak enough English to communicate properly. People in various departments have trouble with visa and work permits because MPC is late on paperwork, sometimes even resulting in people having to leave the country. Parts of the pipeline put unnecessary burden on artists.(Packaging and publishing is a nightmare sometimes) Barely enough Software Licenses resulting in multiple artists not being able to work for hours. Very low pay, with in-house academy graduates pushing mid-level artist out of the door or to the tech anim department. A lot of unnecessary and avoidable overtime.

Most of the department were juniors so it takes a very very long time to complete tasks. Like 4x as long as usual to complete tasks so everything gets back-ended. The leads are pretty junior relative to their title. It means they can feel insecure about their position which causes some odd politics and immature behavior.
