Pros
I loved working at AL, cannot recommend it enough. The social environment is positive and inspiring, the facility is beautiful, clean and well maintained, with an outdoor roof patio area for lunches or beer Friday time. They bring in free lunches every other Thursday and free breakfast every Friday. They even have an artist management team that checks in with you periodically to ask about your over all career goals at...

We had to work some Saturdays during crunch time. There was rather alot of OT toward the end of the project, but I think that's become an industry standard unfortunately, and not really specifically a problem of this company.

Pros
Animal Logic in Vancouver was a great place to work. The company culture was very welcoming. The quality of the work top notch.
Cons
Could be clearer with a bit more notice about booking dates but it goes with the territory in film nowadays. Certainly better then other shops I've worked at.
Advice to Management
Don't loose that small company vibe and turn into another sweatshop.

StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Animal Logic for more than a year
Pros
- some great people on the crew - weekly Friday breakfasts, bi-weekly Thursday catered lunches - current location has gym in building
Cons
- proprietary database and tracking software - any suggestions to changing process, workflow or pipeline require countless meetings and vetting with Sydney studio

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Animal Logic for more than 3 years
Pros
- I was allowed to work on a diverse set of tasks. - Knowledge-sharing between teams in R&D is actively encouraged. - My manager was fantastic. - Fun office vibe. - Hired some of the best people in the industry. - Projects are interesting. - Free food on alternate Thursdays, and snacks in the kitchen every day.
Cons
- Difficult to get a pay increase. Even with an entirely positive performance review, no salary adjustments were made. - No formalised training for technical staff.
Advice to Management
- Provide cost-of-living adjustments on a year-on-year basis, at a minimum in line with inflation. This was the largest reason for my departure. - Formalise job-progression paths, including training plans for each stage.

The talent is great, and nice people to whether with
Cons
No room to grow, don't expect high raises.. If any. Get in high! Because that's all you'll get. Too many production people. Unecessarry .
Advice to Management
Cut down on production cost and give it to the artists who really deserve it

Pros
Flexible hours and a large enough team to support the studio infrastructure. I actually feel like I have the support of my team and managers.
Cons
The communication between the locations in Sydney, Vancouver, and LA is still a work in progress. No clear indication on what to expect in the future.
Advice to Management
Communicate changes to all sites before they are made. Clean up the lines of communication to clarify the path of escelation.

Pros
Seems fun and simple yet nice staff perks like nice coffee machine, breakfast, beer friday and pastry thursday AM.
Cons
Work life balance doesn't exist - long hours 8-6 and no paid break. This adds up to quite a bit when calculated hourly over a year and salaries don't match this.
Advice to Management
normal working hours and work from home - need work life balance
