Pros
People here are happy to work for this company, and treat each other with respect, especially in the IT department.
Cons
In my two years there productions would always run through holidays, and as a Render Wrangler, would be expected to work during Christmas and New Years.

Pros
Competitive pay, benefits, decent people, nice HR. The main employees/talent are very nice people. I loved who I met here - technical artists, production coordinators, etc. are all very hard working and make the best of it. Great people. Benefits are decent, and pay is good. Always paid overtime. HR people are very nice and want to see you do well, and are very understanding.
Cons
Too many producers meddling, too many time zones, bad production schedule, cubicles, no trust from the Sydney HQ / upper management. Basically everything was made to be important, and too much time was devoted to showing an absolute polished piece, when it could've been streamlined to include more sketches and ONLY THEN when all the producers agreed to the concept, THEN we can made a polished rendition. Also, if...

Don't bust your artists to make polished work that needs to be sketched and decided on first by the producers and director. Too much wasted time. CREDIT YOUR ARTISTS EVEN IF THEY LEAVE BEFORE THE CONTRACT END. NOT CREDITING IS A SURE FIRE WAY TO MAKE PEOPLE NEVER WANT TO EVEN TRY WORKING FOR YOU, OR EVER AGAIN. I will not recommend anyone to work here until most of the cons are sorted out. Good luck.

Pros
I loved working at AL, cannot recommend it enough. The social environment is positive and inspiring, the facility is beautiful, clean and well maintained, with an outdoor roof patio area for lunches or beer Friday time. They bring in free lunches every other Thursday and free breakfast every Friday. They even have an artist management team that checks in with you periodically to ask about your over all career goals at...

We had to work some Saturdays during crunch time. There was rather alot of OT toward the end of the project, but I think that's become an industry standard unfortunately, and not really specifically a problem of this company.

Animal know how to take care of their staff, with many staff events and a fully functioning catering kitchen!

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Animal Logic
Pros
Flexible hours and a large enough team to support the studio infrastructure. I actually feel like I have the support of my team and managers.
Cons
The communication between the locations in Sydney, Vancouver, and LA is still a work in progress. No clear indication on what to expect in the future.
Advice to Management
Communicate changes to all sites before they are made. Clean up the lines of communication to clarify the path of escelation.
