Pros

- made some really great friends - great shows where the public will see all your work

Cons

- low salaries for fresh talent - constant overtime with no overtime pay - failed promises of artist managers, you have to know the RIGHT people to progress - if you are not with the RIGHT crowd, you are an outcast - tools are outdated and don't help us do our jobs - no guidance from leads because leads are jaded/fustrated

Human Resources in Dneg Vancouver is a Joke.

Pros

Its owned by 80% India 20% UK that pretty much says it all.

Cons

I can't stress enough DUMB is the HR section at Double Negative Vancouver. Extremely unqualified recruiters that are NOT hiring well versed and Industry professionals with far more knowledge than the most of the workforce. I am super surprised as to the kind of feedback they give out. 3D hires and Compositing section hires are extremely disappointing as the two girls that are in charge have no HR experience and think they are way knowledgeable than everyone else. The reason no one sticks around in the company is because of poor hiring skills and HR department that isn't from a VFX production background.

Pros

All the porridge and weetabix you could eat before lockdown.

Cons

- Owners, upper management & HR have little to no respect for staff on so many levels and they should be ashamed of themselves. - Since Prime Focus management have taken over they have driven this place into the ground and any sense of company morale has vanished. - No company culture. - Losing/Not bidding on good projects anymore. - People Team are a joke. - All the good people have left or are jumping ship. - Zero trust between company and its employees.
