Framestore Reviews

Pros

Good Company and nice environment

Cons

small team so its hard to get promoted

Pros

Tonnes to learn from experienced talented artists/developers. Variety of interesting projects and insights to the latest technologies. Managers were accommodating in terms of giving work to suit interests.

Cons

Weekday overtime wasn't paid. I felt very underpaid for the type of work I was doing after 6 months, and wasn't given a raise when asked, but was offered a perm role and had positive feedback. I tried to transfer within the company, but apparently (rumour has it) management told talent to withhold a job offer - I heard this about a year later from my interviewer who left. Later reapplied and moved, but at the time mental health was in tatters due to family deaths, living situation and not enjoying the job at the time.

Pros

Very supportive of staff, management were great, work on huge film projects.

Cons

Long hours when deadlines, as expected.

Pros

nice and chill to work

Cons

not more than any vfx company

Pros

Great place to work really good environment

Cons

Downside was just the workload

Pros

Good work environment, with a big pool of professionals

Cons

Like with any bigger company, there is a big spread of knowledge.

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.
