Pros

- Limited but company is growing, slowly. - Nice office space.

Cons

- They value "transparency" as a means to "challenge/support" one another is just an excuse to provide "feedback" in a unprofessional and aggressive manner. It's a one way street too. It's not about being thick skinned unfortunately as most of the reviews suggest. - Toxic work environment & very high turnover rate. Unable to unlock maximum performance from employees because of it. - Company benefits is non-existent. - No signs to support employee's learning and development unless you're in front office. - Loads of people vape in the office?! Good luck if you're asthmatic.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience has been challenging and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. While this does not reflect the experience of many of our employees, we value your perspective and are open to discussing how we can improve. We understand that a direct feedback culture may not resonate with everyone. Many of our team members find it beneficial for growth, but we recognise that it can be challenging. We strive to maintain a respectful and constructive approach to feedback and are always working to improve how this is delivered. Regarding the 360-degree feedback program, we want to highlight that we already have this system in place, along with regular employee surveys to give everyone the opportunity to provide honest feedback. In terms of employee development, we are committed to providing opportunities for everyone, not just those in front office. We are actively working on expanding these at the moment. We appreciate you bringing your concerns about vaping in the office to our attention. We will look into this immediately. We’re always open to further dialogue, and if you’d like to discuss your experience in more detail, we would welcome the opportunity to better understand your concerns. Thank you again for your feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and balanced feedback—we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear that the candour, pace, and high-performance environment at VFX have been positive parts of your experience, as well as the opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact initiatives alongside driven colleagues. These are all things we care deeply about as we continue to grow. We also value your constructive feedback, which plays a key role in helping us evolve. Open and honest input is a core part of our culture, and platforms like Glassdoor are one of the many ways we listen and continue to improve. As we scale, maintaining energy, supporting flexibility, and continuing to invest in development are all important areas of focus for us. We recognise that the pace and expectations won’t suit everyone, and we aim to be transparent about that. For those who thrive in a high-ownership environment, we want to ensure VFX remains a place where people can grow and build long-term careers. Thank you again for sharing your perspective!
