Mr X VFX Artist Reviews

Pros

One of the best in industry to work

Cons

Hikes and promotion are little delay compared to others in industry

Pros

Lots of interesting projects with challenging tasks. Talented artists ready to help. Company is growing, but it is still in a stage where you can physically discuss a task with a person from other department without 5 managers to be involved. Approved overtimes are paid properly. Personally, I got all my vacations approved, but you need to book them 3-4 months ahead. Health benefits. Fun events to join. Softball games, movie nights, cosplays and parties.

Cons

Lots of overtimes. Many people do ghost hours. Some artists work being sick. New office has bad AC which made it even easier to get sick. Depends on your place. Mostly, you see project supervisors only during dailies. Sometimes, asking a short question or showing a playblast at your desk helps to save time a lot.

Pros

They have some very talented people. Some really smart artists there that are passionate about doing good work. And on the reel it shows. Overtime starts at 44hr, and outside of a few artists that get slammed (usually leads) a workweek is mostly below 50hr. So that's pretty good compared to other studios 80-90. Very stable and has lots of jobs coming in all the time.

Cons

It would be nice if they had some larger 'hollywood' shows. Switching tasks and jumping between multiple shows can be hard on the artists at times. I would like to have more training time to learn new software.
