Pros
Work on big films Work with talented engineers and artists
Cons
The strategy is - underbid for films, force junior staff to work overtime for free to make up for it and then let supervisors and producers bang on about how it was "a collaborative effort" in the promotional videos. Staff are promised progression and pay rises after proving they can do the job first, they usually leave after a year of this due to the company never quite managing to hold up their side of it. HR are there to represent the company and not the staff, they try and keep everything face-to-face to avoid paper trails of promises that won't be kept in the future. The company exploits junior staff trying to get into the industry, if they burn out after months of unpaid overtime and kicks up a fuss the company doesn't renew their contract. Far too many senior members of staff rely on abusive language to get the work done, this toxic atmosphere bleeds down the company and ambitious staff mimic those traits to get ahead. Management ignores the advice of specialists within the company and then can't understand why things aren't running smoothly months later. They then spend twice as much implementing what was advised when the issues cause clients to complain.
