      Pros

      So I can control my time by myself, and I can have my time to do other important things in my life.

      Cons

      You will be too lazy to wake up early, you will always be in the house, you always see things going on in the neighborhood.

      Pros

      I was there for three years about ten years ago, and worked in the R&D group in Glendale. There were some extremely strong software engineers there, and they were a pleasure to work with. Many of us are at Google now. The physical surroundings and compensation were good.

      Cons

      A real NIH attitude towards all software, possibly stemming from the PDI staff having been present way back when every pixel cost ten thousand dollars. I remember looking at header files from the 80s. Also, not a software company, so engineering was "overhead" instead of "profit center." This may have changed more recently. If you truly love high-end computer graphics, though, this was a destination job and may still be.
