Interesting - Animator LAIKA Employee Review

Great people made for a solid culture. Commitment to excellence. International co-workers. Barista coffee and subsided onsite catering. Seems to be always striving to be better. Huge gains in sustainability and studio culture.

Location from Portland is a challenge. On the plus side the commute is pretty straightforward with no traffic as such. Usually made it to work in 20-30 minutes from downtown Portland

Literally nothing. Met a few cool people here but at what cost.

Laika loves to protect abusive employees and managers for some reason despite receiving multiple reports about the same person and their abusive patterns over and over and over again. Feels like a white supremacist company as they like to make a big show of their "diverse" community without taking absolutely any action at all to practice this in daily work life and surely don't do anything about complaints regarding harm and discrimination. If you decide to work here for some reason (working retail is literally a healthier work environment) pray that you can just fly under the radar because should you have even a minutia of an issue while you are here and you speak out about it, HR and the higher ups will make you suffer as a consequence for you looking out for yourself and calling them out on their tyrannical management. HR is sickening. Saying that it's a joke is an understatement. It's pure evil. I am not exaggerating. In my time at Laika I went to HR multiple times alone, and with co-workers, just to reap the consequences of being pushed out of the company for speaking out because they would rather keep the abuser employed. The hate crimes caused by this company is not worth whatever art prestige you think you will get from this place which you also won't because it's an unorganized, chaotic, and the CEO/director doesn't even care or like anything that the employees work hard on. Do not work here.
