Pros

There are no pros to working at this studio

Cons

- They signed onto a creature-heavy show with NO CREATURE PIPELINE in place. So with no creature SOP's in place, you can imagine how the show progressed as it neared closer to delivery. - The artists are worked way too hard and many are driven to quitting the industry overall after working at Method. - When production ramps up, say goodbye to your social life and personal relationships because you are expected to work overtime like everyone else. The concept of work-life balance is foreign to management. - Supervisors bad-mouth artists' work all the time behind their backs - Shows are not properly bid for initially, resulting in a mad scramble to find last-minute artists to work on short-deadlined shots with little-to-no training provided. - Cross-site shows from VAN to LA are an absolute nightmare because the two locations have very different approaches to doing things, and wires are crossed all the time.

At least give us time to say goodbye to the team.

Pros

Free cereal (although that makes you grow fat) and coffee (which shouldn't have to be listed as a pro), work on prestigious projects (which studio of this rank doesn't?), beer friday every two weeks, although you're being told not to enjoy it for longer than 30 minutes otherwise you have to subtract the time from your working hours - so don't have a beer friday at all if people are not allowed to enjoy it!

Cons

Not very organized, lots of OT, no sense of community, everyone seems to be for themselves, studio packs more people than it can hold, no health benefits, no sick days and no vacation days, very unfortunate room layouts,
