Pros

-Montreal is a pretty city

Cons

-Projects have very low budgets, bad stories and no future. -3QU films have no real distributor and none of your work can be shown on your reel. -Quebec has the highest taxes in North America. -Quebecois can be combative and not welcoming to outsiders. -Production is delusional and have unrealistic expectations. Extremely micromanaging and overbearing. -Lots of undermining, plotting, scheming and finger pointing. -Extremely clicky. -VFX side small. Mainly comp and wire removal work. Little to no creature work. -Sergio Pablo's "Klaus" is on every piece of Cinesite Animation promo, yet it's not even being done in Montreal or London. Being done by Sergio's company in Spain. -Best described as a twisted cult.

Pros

Great equipment, great team feeling

Cons

Start up feel (at the time) with growing pains as far as communicating with London. Leaps and bounds improvements to today, I'm sure.

Pros

Coffee, (mostly) nice coworkers, new facilities

Cons

They'll bring you in from anywhere in the world and dump you when they're done with you. Very low encouragement of creativity. Low wages. No support. No clue. Taking this job is one of my biggest regrets.
