Great culture with limited growth opportunities - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Pixar Animation Studios

Very warm and welcoming. They have a lot of resources that we were able to use to help us during our time there.

Nothing really. Besides paying for lunch but the food was good.

Can stay for long period of time. Pay is better than other places, but doesn't really make up for the higher cost of living in the bay area. A lot of talented people.

Less stable with layoffs more common. TDs at pixar are TDs and visual effects artists elsewhere. If you can write python you're a TD, if you're primarily a texture painter, you're a TD. TDs end up siloed in departments: model, shade, lighting, global tech, crowds, tailoring, grooming, fx. Rarely do people cross over, and most tools are proprietary. This makes it tough for the next job, if you did stay for a long period, or didn't have a lot of other work, before your stint at Pixar.
