- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
There were a lot of talented artists. I was able to learn a lot of things from them.
Cons
As for me there were no negative points.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
My co-workers were fun to work with and I am still good friends with some of them to this day Free breakfast if you arrive early. Free lunch if you work through the lunch hour. Free dinner if you stay late to work. Every Friday at 5pm they had "Beer O'Clock" All the beer and wine you can drink You can very quickly move up in ranks. One of my Supervisors started out as a junior then got to supervisor in 1 year. Many people move up very fast.
Cons
A few of us found the job too repetitive. Very outdated software. The Linux version was outdated, the 3D apps were outdated, the inhouse tools were outdated. Even the email client that we used was outdated. The pipeline takes months to learn because of all the proprietary software. Even the messaging app is proprietary. I don't know why they didn't just use Slack or Microsoft Teams of Google Chat

Pros
MPC gives you a start if you are starting off in the industry I personally had many opportunities to progress within my department and got a promotion fairly early in my career. I had a lot of responsibility overall when I became key artist which opened me up to learning a lot very quickly I was trusted very early which allowed me to progress my career My department is very welcoming and the people and my boss really swayed my opinion to continue working here.
Cons
Now that I have been working here for almost two years, I know I do not want to move onto the next position, which does not allow me to make more money. There is not a lot of transparency between higher ups and lower level artists. The consistent mistakes between departments never seems to get resolved moving from show to show. What was a problem during a previous show, seems to follow to the future shows so there is no development. The constant rehires flush out experienced artist and bring in new talent so the companies work never improves and sometimes decreases.
