Pros

Lots of great talented people to work and learn from. Campus is beautiful and always inspiring. Free breakfast and lunch.

Cons

Struggle with salary negotiations and contracts that are not one-sided. Morale and positive atmosphere dropping over the years with the changes in the company. Difficult to get promoted and move up in ranks.

Great program with a lot of opportunities to hear interesting speakers and meet other interns.

For my specific department, there was not a lot of work to be done and I found myself being bored despite such a fun work environment.

A Glass Ceiling Exists

Pros

Quality of work life was the very best of all of the animation companies at that time. It actually didn't feel like you were going to work at a corporation, but at an artist retreat.

Cons

The review and rankings process of all employees made quick judgements on your future (from people who never worked with you) and if you were in fact - "promotion material". There was a definite ceiling to your future within the company, as the company looked to hire from the outside for most higher tiered positions, rather than working to grow its own.
