      Pros

      Amazing talent and artists to work with. Fantastic projects and good opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry.

      Cons

      Sometimes there is a lack of growth in the company. However there is not much to complain about DreamWorks India. It is better than most studios in India.

      Pros

      Talented artists, great campus, many learning opportunities, free food, decent benefits, reasonable hours relative to the industry at large, plenty of parties.

      Cons

      Not much room to move up. Management lies. Many jobs outsourced to India and China over the years. Pay is well below average considering the required skill set. They employed an accounting trick to keep weekly salaries stable but low in order to keep a lid on overtime costs, which is now illegal and no longer practiced. Used to be a great studio but poorly managed aggressive expansion, unrealistic production goals, spending millions of dollars on pushing movies into full production without a complete idea of the whole story and ignoring the deafening cries of the staff resulted in many rounds of layoffs over the years. Those responsible for the horrible missteps were fired years too late.
