Avantages
Team is nice to work with although they are all desperate for some assistance and training to be able to deliver results in such a fast paced environment.
Inconvénients
You literally have no time to breathe, you are expected to be a self learning genius and results are expected based on this ability.
If you cannot find answers by yourself it means you will have to work as many hours as needed until you find the answer, no one will help to train you on a task even if it has with a deadline. Management is great at setting deadlines, and put pressure on delivery but horrible at providing any sort of guidance, or basic tools to complete the work.
Lack of standardization on systems used - you are expected to adopt all sorts of new technology and immediately become an expert user, because management will ask you about it. They think new technology is the solution to all, and are oblivious to the fact that nothing will change until there is more support and proper time to fix things. There is also a very bad culture of “oh this is the VFX business, there is no time for anything” … Nope, if management wanted things could be different, lame excuse.
