Pros

Been here for a while and have seen it all. Production is never a dull job, but the way our team has mapped all the processes and playbooks makes it a lot easier to do the wrk. The current team and leadership have a lot of open chats and it's come a ways in terms of shaping the week to week and how to make things easier for everyone. Office policy slightly better than most places these days. Manager is understanding if life gets in the way. Leadership is down to earth and easy to converse with. Has built up my visual folio quickly

Cons

Clients will change briefs on a dime, or suddenly become unavailable. The company has tried to get more larger clients to make this less of a hassle

Pros

Good Stuff: • The people are genuinely talented. Designers, writers, producers, some of the sharpest people I’ve worked with. If you’re lucky, you’ll be surrounded by pros who care deeply about craft. • If you’re early in your career and need credits or agency-style speed to build a reel, you’ll get a lot of output here.

Cons

Not-So-Good: • Replaced a huge number of creative/writing roles with AI... feels like humans are now Plan B… or Z? I don’t know • Leadership is… not listening and don’t care. HR works for the company. Feedback loops exist but rarely shift behaviour. You’ll be heard but not heard, if that makes sense. • Micromanagement galore...from time-tracking software that pauses if you move away from your desk, to overly rigid structures that kill flexibility. • Culture leans hard into positive toxicity. Think: “we’re all in this together” chants while you quietly spiral from the workload. • There’s a low-key obsession with automation and process over people. You’ll feel like you’re prepping your role to be handed over to AI at any moment. • Creative ownership? Good luck. Founders often swoop in to take credit or override creative without context. • It’s not just burnout...it’s a well-documented burnout that’s applauded in company Slack threads. Just have a read of the other reviews If you’re considering a role here, maybe have a coffee with a current or former employee off the record. The branding is slick... but the experience is more “survival mode” than creative haven.

Thanks for leaving your review and glad to read you found our team talented. Thanks also for your note on the reel and building a folio. On your other notes: AI use at Vidico – We have not replaced a single writing role with AI. Use of AI tools is optional and intended to help save time on certain tasks. Vidico has been technology-focused since day one, and we’ve been transparent about this in our strategy and communication with staff. Our AI approach is collaborative and designed to support our current team. Humans are Plan A — we're just not shying away from upskilling our team and preparing them for the future. For the sake of our staff, we'd rather be a participant, than a specator. Leadership and HR – Our department processes are shaped by individual teams, with company-wide policies decided by leadership, as is standard across most businesses. We host monthly all-company Q&A sessions to ensure feedback can be heard and discussed openly. Culture – While experiences can vary, our aim is a positive, solution-focused culture where people care about the craft. We welcome honest conversations in the moment so we can address concerns constructively. Processes — There's a high-key (not low-key) obsession with streamling processes to make work easier. You can't claim to advocate for people's bandwidth if you don't make things easier and reduce friction over time. If someone says something is complicated, we wouldn't be listening as a company if we didn't help them streamline that issue. Creative ownership — one of the founders is a director, and chose to direct for a living. He's directing less than 10% of overall projects. The other founder is probably the least credited person at the org because of his day to day doesn't involve creative as much as it used to. Workload — No one applauds burnout in the Slack threads. Occasionally, deadlines require extra effort, and when this happens, we acknowledge the commitment — but also strive to balance workloads. Time-tracking — This is standard for service businesses, especially when managing multi-country teams and delivering five-figure client projects. It ensures transparency and helps us identify workload issues early. Clients often ask us for receipts and proof of work — this is the easiest way we've found to provide it. Survival-mode — we are constantly referenced by top tier clients and staff alike as having the smoothest production processes around. You don't grow to be a top five production house in Australia by running on survival mode. We appreciate your contributions during your time with us and wish you the best in finding the right fit for your next chapter. —Team Vidico
