Pros

Your work at PIX System would impact the production of almost every TV show and movie that you enjoy, if you enjoy TV and movies!

Cons

I spent months repairing systems that engineers at the company years longer than me left in disrepair, bordering on professional negligence, and because I had to fight for the time to do this work, I was perceived as not tracking my work effectively. My presence clearly threatened engineers who were responsible for these failures and I encountered a hostile work environment, which I raised to HR months before I was terminated for insisting that we properly track my work and assign value to work I was being praised for, but not tracked for. I was fired one week after receiving a positive review. The problems I was working on are unlikely to be focused on and were directly related to the business' survival, so I would be concerned as a client about whether this business will continue to be viable. They may continue to limp along, but clearly had been doing so for a decade before I joined. The technology choices are frankly embarrassing and I was embarrassed to be involved in them at all.

Pros

*REALLY cool industry and product - you're not working for a dime a dozen Bay Area tech company. It's also fun to see your company name in the credits of mainstream movies and TV *Really good benefits, especially considering the size of the company *Excellent work/life balance *Your colleagues will be some of the most amazing, passionate people you will ever meet *Company has grown a lot in the past few years. It's a great place to develop yourself and grow with it

Cons

*Along with the growth, there have been changes in leadership since I've been here which have resulted in a shift in culture towards a bigger company mindset. I think the changes are for the better but it hasn't been easy for some employees to adjust *Internal communication hasn't been great in the past but is actively being worked on

Some really good people who are passionate about the movie industry, stuck or worse, overworked, underpaid, abused, ultimately fired

Cons

Soulless, clueless management Unrealistic expectations Blatant nepotism Bigotry, racism behind closed doors all while imitating DEI Deception, never taking responsbility Zero communication between departments Failure to address employee concerns Lack of vision and care Lies, lies, more lies Gaslighting, toxicity Creating more problems so nobody notices the real ones: upper and middle management
