Pros

There are some very nice projects, you can build up a nice demoreel. There are really nice people you can work with. Prague is very beautiful and cheap city. Lots of cheap and tasty bear, occasionally nice food. The studio location is also very nice, and easy for commute. Very close to city center by tram. Lots of restaurants and bars around for lunchtime.

Cons

I didn't stay too much for overtime, but film department does a lot of overtime and full working weekends. Overtime is paid, yet it is x1 your hourly rate. Pipeline is old. The communication is not so good between departments. They try to hire people from abroad, yet they leave them without notice after a test period. As it's mentioned here before, they say "co-operation works, but there are not as many projects right now. so goodbye, maybe we can work in the future". This is not good if you believe them to come to Prague and and then get laid off after a short while. Try here if you have no other options.

Pros

If you lie enough on right places, you can easily become a supervisor of whatever without any skills or experiences. Great office location Interesting projects

Cons

Zero possibility of individual negotiations or needs no matter you are technically “freelancer”. You are treated as “employee” without rights of emplyee. You never know when you get fired no matter when your contract officially ends. Zero management of anything. Finance, project planning,… nothing. Zero work life balance. You are forced to work in crazy crunch time every single day, weekends included with crazy overtime nobody pays for. And when there is not enough work, half of the company usually gets suddenly fired in one day without any warnings or compensations or you are forced to stay home for free for a months while the other half of the company works for 14 hours/day 🤡 This company is based on juniors. You have no chance to learn anything from seniors because there is really small amount of them in here. Women are here not treated same way as men in point of view of salary equality.
