good company - 3D Animator Cubic Motion Employee Review

- Okay to get some experience at - You get a slim chance to work on some genuinely amazing projects - Trackers/animators/grunt workers are a great bunch of people - Starting salary isn't the worst out there (but is far from the best)

- Almost constant overtime that may or may not be comped - Mental health advisors only advise you to get better so you don't tank their frame output, no actual care about your mental well being in there at all - Producers are overworked and as a result can be a nightmare to work with - Communication along the pipeline is TERRIBLE - Make way too many promises to the client and let and trackers/animators pick up the slack, many hand ins are down to the wire - REALLY dodgy sales tactics - You're a cog in the machine; true of many places, but unless you hold a select few positions, you don't feel valued at all

-Very friendly and social team. -Career progression. Have seen people go from tracking to animating, to being lead animators. Also seen people go from tracking or animating to producing or management. -Ambitious company. The boss work very late hours often to keep the company going and growing. -Raises and promotions given to people deserving. -Get to work on lots of massive titles. -The company is now doing body animation, giving employees more variety of work to do. -Paid overtime. -Proper HR department.

-Working only with mocap data can become a bit tedious after a few years. -Deadlines can be pretty tight, although that's true of every gaming company I've worked with.
