Industrial Light & Magic Reviews

Pros

Talented people, cutting edge tools, often high profile projects, incredible history, you will be surrounded by props and reminders of ILM's golden age.

Cons

Low pay for the bay area, management is toxic and exceedingly political and divisive with the worst offenders frequently rising to the top roles. Speaking out is discouraged and those that do face being ousted and blacklisted. Employment is transient with most roles being contract. As a result workers are expendable and treated poorly. Even full time employees can be asked to take unpaid leave during slow times. Opportunities for career and pay growth are limited in such a environment.

Pros

There are many creative people to work around

Cons

Some tough deadlines and overtimes

Pros

cool projects, nice campus, there is a path up... but a difficult one.

Cons

extremely long hours, low pay, disrespectful production co workers and leaders who find any possible way to be critical and throw you under the bus. Your experience will be better as an artist though.

Pros

Great place to work friendly good environment when heat stress and coldness plus rain DCP decently indoors. Bonuses refine

Cons

You're going to get fired if you miss a day of work that's about the only, that's everybody's like me

Pros

Cool project and cutting edge

Cons

Around the clock hours, demanding clients, know it all co-workers.
