You MIGHT work on a decent project. You get overtime food and a paid taxi ride home only after you work your a$$ off till10pm

Cons

low and uncompetitive salary, NO PAID OVERTIME (working 15-20 hrs a week for FREE), time off in lieu for working weekends, very long work days/weeks, unreasonable deadlines, no employee protection, amateurish vfx supervisors, poor facilities, old computers/monitors, a sluggish dated pipeline, broken tools, old company leadership that has no idea what they're doing and or how to treat artists with respect, they let go senior artist but keep cheap interns and juniors.
