Pros

- Beautiful projects (most of the time) - New offices looks good

Cons

- Terrible management - Lots of positive toxicity - Communication problems - Pipeline often ineffective - Resulting in a lot of overtime and lots of requests to work overtime - Possible shaming meetings for those who don't work overtime - Mikros is only a service provider, and has no rights to IPs - Difficulties to display work, as the studio asks to limit it significantly - Too much inner-circle behavior among management - Mosty short contracts, bound to project - Renewing contract is a pain, with often late paperwork - Because HR is virtually non-existent.

Pros

My team was generally pretty great! Most of the artists refused to appear on camera, so it was hard to get to know them. But those that I did meet were very nice!

Cons

I was required to move to Montreal only to find out other leads were allowed to remain in their home country (US like me). I was clear I had a service dog, and when I arrived in Montreal I was denied entrance into the studio. A few months after being forced to move I was laid off without ever meeting my team or stepping foot in the studio. Also, it's a complete mess regarding assets and animation in preparation for CFX. The most simple things became absolutely huge issues for no reason. The artist management department ghosted me and never gave me a heads up there was no work after my project, what the future held, just not doing her job at all. She was promoted, so go figure!
