Pros

Free coffee, but that's about it.

Cons

If you like the pressure and fast pace of a hurry up and wait environment, then IMAX is the place for you. Management is bad from the top down (Many people have said that here and it's true). Poor communication between the LA and Toronto office (when they are even available). Majority of the VPs, Directors and Managers should be working at Walgreens. Parking is horrific. The Culture and environment are depressing and non-motivating. Most people look like they'd rather be somewhere else. HR is a revolving door, IT is a revolving door. Overall super weird culture and environment. Hands down one of the worst places I've worked with some of the worst bosses I've ever worked for. Do yourself a favor and don't walk, but RUN from this place.

Pros

Working at IMAX gives me a sense of pride because of its strong brand and cutting-edge cinema technology. I enjoy collaborating with supportive colleagues and being part of exciting projects. The benefits and movie-related perks are nice, and overall, I find the work engaging and aligned with industry standards.

Cons

At IMAX, I sometimes feel frustrated by inconsistent leadership and limited opportunities for career growth. The pay can feel average compared to expectations. I’ve noticed communication issues and occasional uncertainty in company direction. Work-life balance can also be challenging, especially with changing policies and management decisions.
