Pros
Great people, inspiring CEO of Entertainment (Greg Foster), nice office, large desks, overtime worked from home, nice area, solid benefits. The company cares a lot about your life outside the workplace. IMAX is very much a family and understanding that “things happen”. Many of the senior staff put family first, which is encouraging and rare.
Kontras
You won’t learn anything unless you’re proactive with your manager. Management is very absent in your development so you need to take charge. You won’t get invited to meetings unless you request it and you won’t be involved in conversations unless you give yourself a voice. Management is not evil or tough, just absent minded. Biggest con is nepotism- so much nepotism!!!!! Also, not very high tech for a tech company. We are forced to use 80s software to manage a lot of important aspects to the company’s infrastructure.
