Pros
Get to see how a movie is made. Chance to interact with famous people Convenient office location Lots of vacation days
Cons
No Culture. Culture comes from the top. The CEO/Founder of this company, while he has some good ideas, has no idea how to lead his people. He tends to not communicate or socialize with most of his workers. Basically, the mood her is just come in and work, and work, and work. Fun? nope... No Work/Life Balance. While it has a good vacation policy, good luck trying to use it all. Since Sales/Exec level decision makers mainly come from Hollywood background, their expectation is that you work 24hrs to please the client. The thing is, in Hollywood, projects end and you can get a break. At PIX, the projects are going all the time with no break. Expect to get burnt out quickly doing stupid stuff. Favored Employees. If you aren't one, expect your life to be miserable. Employee who are detriment to the team are not removed because they are personal friends to the founders. Bad executive leadership. Just see above comments. The founders also tend to chase after shiny new features that are release half baked and abandoned. It wastes resources when they could be spent on overhauling the core product which definitely needs help Cheap. Whatever they offer, you can probably do better somewhere else. Raises don't come often... Secretive: They (upper managment) don't trust you there unless you are a Favored Employee. Expect to be kept in the dark on a lot of things about the Company's financial health. Also the company makes you a "Partner" when you first sign up and you have to pay them up front for the shares. If you quit, they take all the shares back and give you back the amount you paid. You will not gain equity if you leave. It's really a dick move.
