RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at DNEG full-time for more than a year
Pros
High-quality VFX work with a sensable turn around time. Small studio feel with a big-budget pipeline. A real studio effort to keep you from having to do any overtime. Great pay with yearly review raises. Full-time benefits with some offered to part-time. Positive environment.
Cons
The office is still tempory but a permanent one in under construction. Sometimes more work falls onto your shoulders because of others mishandling.

"Good place to work"
I worked at DNEG full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Good place to work. For the most part they let me run my department as I wanted and when they did things were really smooth.
Cons
Not much character work. Also some of the management positions are totally not needed and there are producers who seem more like bank managers who don't understand artists or how we work or think. This caused a lot of stress and frustration on the artists for no reason.
