Animal Logic Reviews

Pros

- Good social environment - Great people - Fairly organised compared to other studios - Robust pipeline compared to other studios

Cons

- Teething issues when the Vancouver studio first opened.

Pros

Heavy focus on RnD Great people and team culture Studio amenities (fortnightly lunch, Friday pastries, free espresso, etc)

Cons

Sometimes too much focus on building everything themselves instead of buying other solutions Large technical history and old code Lack of documentation - lots of “tribal knowledge”

Pros

- Solid and fairly well organised code base (for a production house) - Inspiring and fun environment, with plenty of highly knowledgeable experts - Decent benefits

Cons

- Slow adoption of newer technologies due to certain senior members - Lots of conflicting interests with no appropriate objective liaison between agents - Significant time difference between the two sites. - Lack of ability to work remotely. - Lots of proprietary systems that need support, but could be replaced with a better product (from job security aspect, this is a pro, I guess)

Pros

Great People cool projects fun office environment

Cons

Legacy technology can be a bit of a problem lack of transparency too many video calls with overseas office. hard to work that way

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 the company and offers ways to help you get there. Even after my contract ended, they continued to take care of me by sending my resume and reel out to other companies with their reverse recruitment program, and I started getting interviews right away, before I had even begun job hunting on my own. I appreciate that so much! Great projects, great people, great place to work.

Cons

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

Beautiful work and great atmosphere!

Cons

None that I can think of!
