Pros
Great team and collegues who became good friends.
Cons
Over worked and under payed. Framestore lost what they were about and the culture they spent years building up. Employees are juFramestore has lost its soul. It’s just a big corporate entity where people are just numbers. The company doesn't care about retaining its employees. The tech teams are very under paid and overworked, in terms of tech the team can go anywhere (not just VFX) and Framestore need to be more competitive in terms of salary, workload and training. All though people say there is training, in reality you will be so over worked you will not have time to do training. There seems to be no money in Framestore anymore and if there is it doesn’t filter down to the people doing the work. When Framestore moved to Chancery Lane is when it began it's decline. It's sad to see the company go this way but now it's just another vfx company which has been bought out.

Pros
Loved working at Framestore - always thought I would be there forever but life happens. Process and pipeline throughout the office is solid and easy to pick up. People are friendly and passionate for visual effects. There didn't seem to be too much of a divide to upper management and they were accessible if needed. Many people have started from runners and stayed throughout their career which is always a good sign.
Cons
Job description was a little too fluid for my liking. Pay was too low for the hours required but office culture and vibe made up for that.

Pros
One of the best vfx companies I've worked at in London. Lots of talented staff to learn from for both new and experienced artists. You'll be working on high end effects for the latest hollywood films.
Cons
Like all vfx companies there are a lots of deadlines to hit and there can be long days. Quite a heavy workload for senior staff.
