Titmouse Reviews

Starting in 2019, there was a major shift in management, and as a result, it feels like the LA studio has a lot more sway on how the Vancouver studio is operated. In the "growing pains" to make all the Titmouse studios uniform, the Vancouver studio has lost a lot of that spark that made it one of the greatest animation studios to work at in Vancouver (and lost a lot of their long-term employees in the mix.) Gone are the days of full, honest communication between employees and management. Now days are full of double-talk, and job insecurity. Job creep has also seeped its way into employees' lives more and more, slowly giving employees more and more responsibilities outside of what they're already expected to do, resulting in a tired, and overloaded workforce (this might have been a result of the studio expanding too quickly.) It feels like upper management doesn't care about all their employees, or at the very least, doesn't treat them with the respect that their talents deserve. Old management made an effort to get to know everyone and worked with artists if there was an issue. In the new management's defense, they do seem overworked as well, but they also make no effort to talk to any of the artists on the floor unless the studio's morale is troublingly low.

Everyone will work unpaid over time to compensate for the poor management at some point . There is no getting around it. You may have to park on the street and pay the meters with your own money or spend an hour driving around Hollywood attempting to find a parking spot. Which will make you late and you will have to make up the time you spent looking for parking.
