Pros
Joining the VFX industry. People, but there’s always good-normal-bad people in every company. Projects are attractive, they will give you a nice demo reel if that’s what you’re looking for.
Kontras
I’ve found that their basic problem is an absolute lack of communication, between departments and even insise the same group. They don’t care about anything but deadlines. You don’t feel like a part of a team. No work for months and then full overtime. They have a big problem there and it doesn’t look that they will change anything, even with all the big companies coming to Montreal. Low salaries, dozens of academy people with tons of really bad paid work. Juniors doing senior work FOR YEARS. Maybe the pipeline is good, but if you have to fight for every small piece of information it becomes disgusting. You get tired of waiting to receive answers for something they should be taking way more care than you.
