Pros

The pay is not terrible. It's not great, but it's not the worst. On-site massage therapy offered, and covered by company insurance. Slightly – and I mean slightly – better office layout than most VFX houses.

Cons

The pipeline is very weak, as is the database. The security measures put in place to please the Disney overlord are super frustrating. Teeny-tiny desks and crappy chairs. Cheap computer monitors cause serious eye strain – especially in conjunction with the child-sized desks. Overtime is paid after 50 hours instead of 40, and is paid at time, not time and a half. Poor mid-level and senior management. Opaque management style. Very weak implementation of RV, which is pretty crappy software in the best of cases. Generally lousy technical infrastructure. Poor integration with the head London office.

Pros

Great equipment, great team feeling

Cons

Start up feel (at the time) with growing pains as far as communicating with London. Leaps and bounds improvements to today, I'm sure.

Pros

Coffee, (mostly) nice coworkers, new facilities

Cons

They'll bring you in from anywhere in the world and dump you when they're done with you. Very low encouragement of creativity. Low wages. No support. No clue. Taking this job is one of my biggest regrets.
