Did you have any problems looking for a job after (assuming you no longer work for a porn company)? Do you have this company's name written down in your cv?

I'm really curious as I've heard you can smash your career in film industry by doing porn.

I haven't had any issues. I have them on my resume but they don't sound very adult oriented. Most of them have innocent sounding names that yield no search results. When they do, you can't tell much more than they do e-commerce.

I do however say that my photography work has publications in Playboy, Maxim, FHM, etc. I added that deliberately to filter out companies that would have issue with it. Didn't want to work at companies like that.

I did have one company express concern during an interview, but my response was basically "What does it matter what I do in my personal time if I'm not bringing it to work". They seemed fine with that explanation and ended up hiring me.

I don't have any of my production side work on my resume. I know people more involved on that side, particularly female pornstars have more issue finding work after that but they usually are not pursuing jobs where there is way more demand than supply like in programming.

I can't speak to the film industry.
