Nice colleagues, but overtime is killer

Pros

Lots of nice people to work with, Some of their projects are good.

Cons

I was told there would be no overtime needed and that was the furthest thing from the truth. I took the job to help them out as they were short handed and were having terrible systems issues. I almost killed myself doing all the hours and yet I was to blame for excessive OT - not the managers who kept asking me to do it. These managers even had me, a senior comper, do fairly extensive and time consuming OT roto because they didn't foresee the obvious. Also their HR dept is terribly rude and condescending.

Pros

Good Variety of Projects to work on. Talented artist, leads and supervisors

Cons

Can resort to a system of blame, even when infrastructure is not there for project requirements. Artist where blamed for having to rely on outside expensive render farm, when there own farm couldn't handle the load of the project. Very little patience is given to younger artists and those mentoring them during tight deadlines. This leads to a culture of working extensive overtime. Pay and overtime structure are not the most transparent. Seems to be struggling to get projects since strike.
