- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great team environment and friendship
Cons
Couldn't really say, everything has been great for me
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- having worked at Technicolor (MPC & Mr.X) I know how toxic this industry can be, which is why I was so pleasantly delighted when I joined DNEG and saw how they run the studio. Not only are you treated like a human being and given an amazing work life balance. OT isn't crazy like at Technicolor. No racism or inappropriate conduct, again unlike Technicolor. - Great training when you join - The nicest recruiters I've ever dealt with, honest and actually care. - Outstanding Managers - Transparency - Care about your career growth - Did I mention work life balance, because again work life balance !!!!! - To those saying Technicolor and DNEG are the same clearly have never worked at both before. DNEG is the standard for what studios in this industry should strive to be.
Cons
- Not every project is going to be amazing, but that's like every studio and the team actually listens and tries to put you on work you enjoy.

Pros
-Wonderful place to work, friendly staff, great management! -A studio that really cares about people.. -Competitive salaries. -One of the best places I`ve worked at.
Cons
-Need to have more animation "heavy" projects.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Production shown efforts to better the system/promotion/pay. Great team environment! Awesome benefits. Surprisingly, didn't have to do so much overtime.
Cons
Need to have higher management to loosen pockets a bit more, especially after pay cut of 20-25%. Lots of other studios are offering better pay, and flexible opportunities to move up the ladder. Way overdue with yearly performance review/raise (due to Covid), but we can only blame so much on Covid..especially given the fact that there are numerous shows awarded to the studio. They have to compensate the artist and production team better so that they can keep the key people.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Nice environment to work there
Cons
Salary negotiation is critical, so better be careful
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
People are fantastic and from all over the world. I was new to the city so that helped a lot.
Cons
Management is scattered and unorganized in almost every department.

Inconsistent corporate messaging, uncertain career progression, generally low entry salaries, inconsistent pay increases
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

Health benefits after 3 months Great resources and workshops for mental health, burnout, leadership growth Production contract extensions average 6 months or more Committed to supporting career advancement and personal growth Management is understanding, flexible, and supportive in finding a job title that best suits personality and work style
Cons
More overtime than initially outlined, but that's typical of the industry Premature career advancement in leadership roles, not enough experience Each site has very different pipeline/operations, which makes it difficult when working on a cross-site show
