Cutting Edge Reviews

Awful management. When they fail to get enough work into the studio they'll start firing innocent people left and right in order to save costs and save face. If you get a job here don't stop looking for work elsewhere. Your job is not safe in the slightest. Many of the managers and producers don't know what they're doing. They've often bluffed their way in the door and blame the artists and/or the market for everything they screw up. They seem incapable of keeping up with the ongoing changes in media. My guess is their quotes to the clients are too high and the delivery time is too long, since messages have to go back and forth across way too many producers and managers. They seem good from the outside, but it's a mess in there.

Producers don't listen and act on concerns, instead they try to change your mind and say the problem is with you and there really aren't any problems. Too many production staff and leads with poor technical knowledge. Not enough people to actually work on the shots. at one point it was around 2 workers to one production staff. When things don't work out, the finger pointing starts instead of working together to find a solution. Problems get swiped under the carpet because no one wants to speak up to production, when delivery date comes, workers have to do crazy over time. Even for such a small shop, 12 - 15 hour days were not uncommon. Unresponsive to showreel requests after you leave, also waiting for some tax documents from them 3 months after leaving. The projects are mostly uninspiring and very low budget, which means you won't get any good shots for your showreel. Dealing with producers on contract matters is a terrible experience, worst I've experienced in any workplace. They will literally give you an offer on the last day of your contract and expect you to sign it.
