Pros

If you're able to self-teach, you'll learn a lot, as you're expected to do everything. That gives you lots of opportunities to learn. People are impressed when you say you work for IMAX.

Cons

You're essentially "on call" 24-7 and expected to live for the company. You'll NEVER receive positive feedback no matter how far above and beyond you go. While they brag about how well the company is doing financially they simultaneously are reducing benefits and cutting raises and bonuses for everyone but upper management. It's a company that used to focus on producing the highest quality product in the world, all they care about now is making money for the very top managers, cutting costs and quality everywhere they can.

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.
