Toxic corporate culture - Anonymous employee Aardman Animations Employee Review

Incredibly cliquey and no room to move up the ladder - but this is old news and known throughout the industry. I have seen talented and kind individuals be fired because one person who has all their fingers in the pies doesn't like them. The runners are paid minimum wage for unholy contracted hours but they are happily expanding the company and give presentations on the millions they make. If they complain it's "you're lucky to be here" with the constant reminder of how many people apply. An old fuddy duddy studio with a tight production that won't even pay for Microsoft Word and refuses to adapt to the basic industry standards.
