Pros

generally high quality finished product.

Cons

Very serious company. Fun is not encouraged. You have to act very serious to be taken serious. Some of the best talents in the world have been there but left because they were banging their heads against a wall of people in top positions who aren't at the top of their game and spend most of their efforts convincing the boss they're better than the amazing talents coming through. Its a very hard glass ceiling. The high end work comes at a price. A tonne of money is usually spent on superfluous detail and the most complex and rigid CG pipeline you'll be unlucky to ever experience.

Good culture, but not much else

Pros

The company fosters an excellent culture where you genuinely feel valued and included as a vital part of the team. There are ample opportunities for personal and professional growth within the organization. Every Wednesday, the company provides a complimentary lunch (albeit smaller and smaller portions), and the front office staff consistently strives to incorporate enjoyable activities and surprises each week, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. The Supervising TDs are exceptional in their approachability and willingness to address any inquiries you may have. They genuinely care about your well-being and are committed to advocating for you when necessary.

Cons

The 840 building has a remarkably dim atmosphere, reminiscent of a dungeon. AL aspires to be a top-tier studio comparable to prominent VFX and animation studios in Vancouver. However, it falls significantly short in terms of salary and benefits. Even after being informed about the substantial gap, AL fails to adequately compensate its employees. The Production Technology department experiences consistent staff turnover. Rather than addressing potential issues and working towards improvement, the current talent management team portrays departing employees as not fitting into the company culture, ignoring concerns related to employee retention and inadequate compensation and benefits. AL's onboarding process is severely lacking and disorganized, much like the overall state of the company. New employees are often thrust into challenging situations without sufficient support, although there is some understanding regarding the difficulties of learning AL's proprietary technology.

Pros

You can be sure to work on challenging / interesting / beautiful projects. Staff is very nice. Free & great food (lunch buffet) every Thursday ! Croissants on Friday morning, then beer in the afternoon to start the week end ! You can play soccer, basketball or go the gym at lunch time. Awesome place ! Overtime paid etc..

Cons

So awesome that people end up staying ;-) Which means you won't have that many options to be promoted.. unless you stay about 10 years..
