Avantages
Right off the bat DNEG has been nothing but fantastic to me! I’ve joined the company during a surge of the pandemic and was really nervous about starting a new job without being able to go into the office. DNEG has been incredibly organized from day one and I was up and running on a remote machine within a matter of hours, something I never had happen at any other VFX studio. The support from the pipeline is great, and the caliber of talent is insanely top notch across all departments. The studio works 9-6 and has great work life balance. Couldn’t recommend this place more for vfx artists!
Inconvénients
Pay is a bit hard to negotiate as it is based on similar artists salaries, so I’m a bit under my previous rates at other companies. Would be nice to negotiate more, but I also came on during a pandemic so there’s only so much to be expected.
