- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
-Excellent mentorship -Fun coworkers -Fair wages and treatment of OT -Nice location -A good sense of teamwork -Helpful and friendly IT team (the best I've worked with yet) -Fun projects -WFH has been extremely doable during COVID: quick turn-around times on errors and issues, well-scheduled work-from-studio options to keep the building safe
Cons
-OT a requirement for most production staff -Future Work From Home offers are unappealing given we've spent 1.5 years beefing up WFH viability and I want the option to continue with at least half time spent WFH

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
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.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
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)
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
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
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros

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 .
Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
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.

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.
