Flying Bark Productions reviews about "people"

Management don't know how to manage

- Management is insensitive / incompetent - I don't think the CEO can hold a pencil - The location is inconvenient - Non living wage - Stressful, angsty, everyone seems tired - Toxic unspoken "family" culture, claims to promote growth in company but there is none - Pressured to do OT constantly - Unpaid internships

Not good for total beginners.

Everything they boast about during onboarding about helping you move up in the company is a lie. Everything they recommend you do to move up is a lie. Been outright denied moving up for years despite constant promises. Deadlines are insane with nowhere near the financial compensation to make it bearable.

High standards for limited budget, not enough time and resources available for the ambitious outcome, doesn't account for tool limitations and development on newer shows and workflows, and artists feel pressure to make it work somehow. Pipeline is still catching up to studio growth, resource sharing between projects to accelerate learning between projects is very difficult and slow. Insufficient leadership training, rapid growth demanded high industry experience and low priority on leadership values/ skills which determines base culture and morale. Little to no technical/ project onboarding meaning that the company culture has inconsistent reinforcement and project standards are lost to a free-for-all for artists without training from the start. No clear standards for career growth, promotions are inconsistent and opportunistic. Formal performance review needs to be self-initiated and is not audited by HR for measurable career progression - and is lost between projects as projects don't actively communicate development goals.

Low salary, Sydney is too expensive. The pipeline, bad communication.

Salaries not always as competitive as others in the industry
