Benefits at VFX

We offer more than just perks — we offer ownership.

Our benefits include:

• Generous Profit Share Plan (PSP)
• Equity via the Company Share Option Plan (CSOP)

• Annual all-expenses paid company incentive trip abroad
• Flexible learning & development budget

At VFX, the biggest benefit is the opportunity to act like an owner. Through our Profit Share Scheme (PSP) and Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), every team member has a chance to own a stake in the business and share in the profits.

To show you what that looks like, in 2024, PSP participants received over $1,000,000 USD. From those distributions, more than 80% of eligible VFXers chose to become shareholders — a powerful reflection of the belief and commitment that drives VFX forward.

If you care about building something meaningful, take pride in your work, and are motivated by impact — you’ll thrive here.
