      Great Job, but low Pay

      Pros

      Work environment is incredible, helping in creative projects is very exciting, the people are so much fun to work with, it is by far the best place I have ever worked.

      Cons

      As great of a company as this is, there compensation on the production level is disheartening - My second part-time job pays as much hourly as DreamWorks Animation. The perks are great, but they aren't something I can pay my student loans with.

      Pros

      The artists and staff not at the C-Suite level are some of the best people to work with.

      Cons

      New COO is making deals to outsource all artwork.

      Solid place to work

      Pros

      At its best, DWA is a vision that we all try to uphold - entertaining families worldwide. We all work hard to make that happen, and it's work that people are proud of. It is small enough that it can have a family or team like atmosphere.

      Cons

      The economic stability of the company has always fluctuated quite a bit which leads to more "surge and purge" (hire up then lay off) than I think anyone would like. Impossible to know how the recent acquisition by Comcast/NBCU might offset or exacerbate that instability.
