Good tools and talented people, but little ownership

3d environment artist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Some good tools from the past. Big company name attracts some very talented people. Strong artists are given a lot of freedom in how and what they do.

Cons

Strong drive towards making every artist a very replaceable name on a spreadsheet, Moderate turnaround and rushed training means there's always artists that have little knowledge of how to use the pipeline. Some projects do a lot of passing around of tasks leaving artists feeling little ownership of their work. Tech development often doesn't consult with what actual day-to-day needs are
