Atomic Cartoons Reviews

Pros

Atomic does a great job at retaining their talent and developing their artists. Although dependant on show, work/life balance is an important value to the company.

Cons

Projects mostly aimed towards preschoolers.

Pros

Work is simple if you don't want much stress. Good work/life balance. Good efficient pipeline for the most part. Very relaxed work environment. Team was friendly with strong leaders. RRSP matching at 5% 4% added to salary instead of 2 weeks paid vacation time off if you prefer that. Overtime was a option quite frequently if you wanted to make extra money.

Cons

Work was not very challenging for me. Some pipeline issues could have been improved. Pay could have been higher based off current cost of living in a city like Vancouver or Toronto.

Pros

Great place to work at.

Cons

Some of the projects aren't as fulfilling in the technical department

Pros

Great work-life balance, you punch out when you're meant to, with zero pressure or guilt. Excellent friendly, knowledgeable and collaborative team. No egos, from artists to executives. Very flexible with working from home, including setting individual hours of availability. Competitive compensation, meeting or exceeding large studios. Awesome developer experience without sitting through a bunch of meetings, spending a huge amount of time preparing to work on even the simplest tasks, or needing to account for every minute of every day.

Cons

The medical/dental benefits could be better, but are comparable to other companies. Some legacy code can get in the way of productivity, which is fairly standard. A new and very promising pipeline is currently in development, though.

Pros

-Allowing employees to chose between working from home, in the office or both. -Hire Artist/Production staff from outside of the Vancouver area -Great Leadership -Fun Productions -Competitive Salary -Transparent Company/CEO Jen is fantastic and the senior staff is extremely passionate and really does care for the employees, but my favorite thing is they don't pretend to be a family. They never deny they are also a business and somethings are not possible, but they are always willing to listen to issues and try and compromise. -Good work life balance -They offer health benefits (More on this later) -RRSP Matching 5% with RBC -Optional Paid OT when required/approved They never force people to work OT they only offer it if wanted. And it's always paid. They strongly discourage working for free. -Amazing Colleges

Cons

The benefits package needs a rework, a spending account doesn't work for a lot of people and the traditional benefits offered half of them won't cover people with pre-existing conditions. Basically saying if an employee has a health problem then they have to suffer with no help. The start of productions can be a bit frustrating and confusing, do to lack of realistic expectations for how much staff and work is required. Usually gets sorted a few months in, but it's frustrating when it happens every single show.

Pros

Great environment, organized company and they care on their artists

Cons

Sometimes gaps are huge and there is no projects to stay

Pros

Wonderfully talented people. Atomic staff do try and create little events for staff to connect and have fun.

Cons

Production staff being promoted to senior roles with 1 year experience, without support from upper management to help them grow and learn.

Pros

-awesome team, super welcoming environment -fairly supportive workplace -my supervisors and leads were amazing

Cons

-lots of OT on our project -tight deadlines sometimes

Pros

remote work, I had an available supervisor and a kind coordinator

Cons

fake leadership. forcing people to go to their office.

Pros

amazing communication, and very organized equipment provided for remote workers

Cons

Would like a bit more of a heads up about upcoming contracts/work available/whether we need to search for alternative studios, sooner
