Pros
- A few talented individuals who stand out amidst the mediocrity. - Occasional management training sessions, though largely ineffective.
Cons
- Few talented employees; the majority are forgettable. - No accountability for tasks; requests are ignored unless escalated to upper management. - Senior staff lacks basic computer graphics knowledge and technical skills; questions from senior artists are often embarrassingly basic. - Work processes reminiscent of 15 years ago, projects are managed like TV commercials with shrinking turnaround times. - There's no focus on modern technologies (unless you count questionable AI practices) or project planning. - CEO believes in buying software rather than developing custom solutions. - Feels like multiple companies within one, each with different pipelines and software setups, and there's little effort to unify the processes. - Departments are competitive rather than collaborative. - Technical development is accidental, often driven by half-baked solutions provided by the artists working in their idle time. - IT support is understaffed and overworked, often dealing with basic issues that could be solved with proper automation frameworks.
