Part of Lucasfilm

Is this your company?

Was excited to start, disappointed after a month, and left as soon as I was able to finish my contract. - Anonymous employee Industrial Light & Magic Employee Review

Pros

Nice people, hours aren't too bad compared to other places, looks good on resume, the building is very cool, and they try and have a pleasant work enviroment.

Cons

Salary is not very competitive, seems to only have the work that SF doesn't want to do, boring shots to work on, inexperienced supervisors who play favorites and seem to have no idea how to actually lead a team.

Pros

Everyone there is super passionate about the work & needless to say that everyone is working on something cool. The location is also very nice and scenic

Cons

Getting to the office can be a challenge, depending on where you are in SF. Also, since a lot of employees work from home, the office can be empty at times.

Pros

Working with industry leaders and awesome creatives. People are generally down to earth. Campus is really cool.

Cons

Culture is very back-stabbing. I was told I was doing a great job by most collaborators, but one person had it out for me and it became toxic. The Disney element sucks. Low pay compared to other Bay-Area companies.
