Framestore Reviews

Pros

Loved working at Framestore - always thought I would be there forever but life happens. Process and pipeline throughout the office is solid and easy to pick up. People are friendly and passionate for visual effects. There didn't seem to be too much of a divide to upper management and they were accessible if needed. Many people have started from runners and stayed throughout their career which is always a good sign.

Cons

Job description was a little too fluid for my liking. Pay was too low for the hours required but office culture and vibe made up for that.

Pros

High profile jobs, steady pipeline, great results,

Cons

Low salary, no OT paid

Pros

Good project, work/life balance is not too bad in this industry.

Cons

Salary is low but you know, it's Montreal...

Pros

One of the best vfx companies I've worked at in London. Lots of talented staff to learn from for both new and experienced artists. You'll be working on high end effects for the latest hollywood films.

Cons

Like all vfx companies there are a lots of deadlines to hit and there can be long days. Quite a heavy workload for senior staff.

Pros

Great team - no egos, great work! Fun, collaborative environment.

Cons

Hours can be long but can be manageable.

Pros

Great tools, fairly senior team, technical support always available and fun environment

Cons

Lacks in organisation, team works really long hours

Pros

Nice people, nice work, nice project, clean and quality shots, low amount of OT unless you want to, breakfast, and treats

Cons

Low salary, low evolution, getting more and more desorganised and rushy, production is less and less qualified same with artists, more and more fixes to do

Advice to Management

Hire better quality people and keep your good employees with wage that match their skills, better communication and trust in your employees

Pros

Good environment, work with high quality

Cons

Far from the metro (winter conditions)
