How should I apply for a position at Pixar?

Will you contact me regarding the status of my submission?
Given the quantity of resumes and reels we receive, we’re unfortunately not able to contact people individually with specific feedback. However, you will receive an email acknowledging receipt of your submission. If we feel you are a strong candidate for the position, we will contact you directly to further discuss the position. If there isn’t a fit at this time, you will receive an email letting you know our decision (this may take approximately 6 weeks). No phone calls, please!

How often should I reapply?
As cliché as it sounds, “Timing is everything”. Numerous Pixar employees applied several times before being hired, so please don’t be discouraged. Generally, we recommend reapplying every 6 months unless there is a change in your contact information or if you’re interested in applying for a different position.
How do I apply?
Please apply directly online and, if applicable, upload your materials as specified on the job posting.
How long will my resume be kept on file?
If we feel your experience and skill set are a fit but we don’t have any current openings, your resume will remain active for 6 months. Otherwise, all resumes are archived for 2 years.
What animation software do you use and what do you recommend for those hoping to work for a company like Pixar?
Pixar uses its own proprietary software built and maintained in-house. In general, we look for broad artistic and technical skills, rather than the ability to run one package over another. We concentrate on finding people with breadth, depth, communication skills and the ability to collaborate. If you have those attributes, we can teach you the specific tools.
If I am not authorized to work in the United States, can I still apply at Pixar?
Pixar is interested in hiring the best and brightest and we feel fortunate to have artistic and technical folks from around the globe. Unfortunately, the requirements and process for obtaining work visas is complicated and difficult. We recommend you become familiar with the qualifications for obtaining visas (H1-B, TN, O-1, etc.) and if you meet these requirements, we welcome you to apply.
What is the starting salary for an Animator or Technical Director?
We receive this question quite a bit and it’s not as straight forward to answer as you might think. Pixar offers competitive salaries and a very comprehensive benefits plan. For specific information on industry related salaries, there are numerous web sites listing overall salary and compensation information.
How can I be considered for voice over work?
All our voice casting is handled through Walt Disney.
Can I submit a creative story and/or script idea?
Please do not send any kind of creative submission to Pixar. All of Pixar’s ideas and stories are developed internally and it is our policy not to look at any external submissions. For legal reasons we automatically return all creative material (scripts, synopses, sketches, etc) unopened and unread.
