Good projects but too much stress and work, no pipeline - Lighting Artist Axis Studios Employee Review

The schedules are mainly super tight. Light and compositing work done together, not by seperate departments. So usually, there's too much work and so little time. That puts a lot of stress on you. The pay is low compared to the work that is delivered. There's no industry standart pipeline. They have one tool just to open show specific path defined software packages. No proper pipeline for compositing as well. Sometimes the tools don't work at all. Tech support is quite minimal. Generally the amount of work, with the tools and resources they have, it's a pain to work with this company. The farm is never enough, and there's a big battle about it. Generally your project is held for days on farm, while you're on delivery because of other shows are top prio. Work and life balance is terrible. I've seen some burnout artists who are desperate. New starters have no clue but feel the tense environment nonetheless.
