Working at HoG
- We’re a lot like Bonaparte, our Penguin mascot: majestic, cuddly and a bit awkward too. We are all passionate about the work, supportive with each other, and self-deprecating rather than judgemental.
- You’ll need a high tolerance to strong French accents
- Bad pool players are preferred to preserve employee morale
- Friday drinks (via Zoom or in-person; pending the current state of well... the world), and a yearly weekend away help with it too! Plus other things too small to be called out in a job offer, but still nice.
- We have a life! We believe reasonable hours of intense work trump long hours of exhausted one - and that adapting hours to family or personal circumstances, or getting back the hours spent on longer shoot days should be a given.
- We believe in paying every employee a living wage and were among the very first agencies to sign the Placement Poverty Pledge
- We do strive for an inclusive and diverse culture, and need every staff member to bring their contribution and support the agency on this journey.
