Pros

There are some friendly people working here. If you are a senior artist, the workload is minimal. Lots of career opportunities. Good benefits.

Cons

This small studio boasts about wanting to be one of the best employers of vfx in the city, but what they have created is a workplace that is teeming with egos, and participates in active bullying of staff at every level from a management team that simply lacks experience yet think they are hotshots. Upper management does not care about the high turnover of staff, they will run their artists into the ground with overtime and then simply hire another artist to take their place. This high turnover is also in part to the stress they put on their junior artists who have no mentors to help them learn the processes of the studio. It feels like the upper level of senior staff have chosen this place to just coast through their careers at, leaving the hard work to the juniors. There is literally no pipeline here, none. So if you want to work here, you better know how to do everything straight out of the box. Newer tech and workflows are so out of reach for this place because of such a non-existent pipeline.

I think it's the worst VFX studio in Canada

Pros

Met some nice people here.

Cons

The positive reviews are almost surely fake. Crew is likeable, but overworked even by Toronto standards. Worst 3D department I've ever seen. There was one novice CG supervisor across 8 shows. Owner can't stop accepting work even though the workforce is massively understaffed and (non-existent) pipeline is in shambles. Owner does not care about his staff and is fuelled by ego and greed. Expect a bait and switch offer from them. Studio is among the ugliest you'll ever see. Also, not an inclusive space for LGBTQ+ people. Beware of working here.

Pros

There is good employees are good to work with had lots of laugh and fun to work with.

Cons

Awful management, they work you to the ground, and always calls me during off hours I regret for not recording all of my OT hrs I guess this is what I get for being nice to them. Once they realize you are too expensive they'll find someone to replace your role, by going radio silence and reassign all the work to the cheaper person, and Possibly when ever there is a mess up they'll blame it on you to make an excuse to fire you w/o warning.
