Pros

1. Management doesn't get any better - a place where people truly care about their employees 2. Business units work together - never had a problem getting information I needed 3. People are great 4. Benefits and compensation ok - bonuses for employees not at Director level and above are discretionary and not a significant amount 5. Good place to learn the business 6. Access to theme park and screenings

Cons

1. Didn't feel like I was working with the best in the business - some co-workers were there much longer than me but had no idea what they're doing and just getting by under the radar 2. Promotions are somewhat political - altho this seems like a common issue at most studios/jobs 3. Salary is much higher at other studios (ie, WB and Sony) - for same role I could've been making 20% more + bonus 4. The better you are at your job, going above and beyond becomes the norm - your bosses don't notice when you become that person doing 10+ hour days while everyone else does 8
