Pros

Good salaries, reasonable working conditions, state of the art technology. Fun campus with a company store and a very good cafeteria.

Cons

Of the three contracts the company poked under my nose, all three had gotcha clauses, that, when called out were explained as mistakes. One I could see, but three? Anyone signing a contract with these people should have a lawyer involved and not be enamored with working for a studio. DON'T TRUST THEM !!!!
