Pros
Amazing artists great environment cool projects Great and knowledgeable leads Opportunity to learn.
Cons
Management ignores artists Management doesn't offer comparable payments in comparison to the competition. If you are a junior this might make you feel like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place with a lot of work for little to no reward. Little to no communication between management and artists. When addressing an issue be prepared to be told to wait several weeks over and over again until you decide to...

Value your artists. Offer artists training during downtime that is during work hours and not outside working hours.

Your artists are people with feelings and problems and work doesn't help when it pays under the market value of the work your employees produce.

I have worked for a few studios and the DNEG environment feels contrived and cold. Outwardly, the company states that they are a family company while inside employees are made to feel undervalued and often disposable no matter the hours they put in and a positive work ethic they show. DNEG is a notable VFX studio- the equipment, resources and tools should reflect that. By having the right software, tools, resources...
