Pros
Great tight knit group of highly creative and technical people. Everyone works very hard to create the best films possible. PDI location had a feeling of family and everyone supported one another. Production management was given frequent training to develop career growth and not just treated as a job.
Cons
With the recent leadership change, hard to know where the company is headed. They need to transform from a producer driven studio to a director driven studio to take the creative risks but know their audience. Dreamworks needs to appreciate the production management more, but the trend seems to be adding more a more multiple departments onto one supervisor. Change in software is very slow with a tendency to maintain outdated proprietary software rather than put the investment in more off the shelf applications.
