Great benefits and company perks

Pros

DreamWorks provides great perks to employees including paid gym memberships, on-site movie screenings, great health insurance, free breakfast/lunch, and 401k matching.

Cons

Having that many perks can sometimes mean that it is easy to get too comfortable there. Especially in R&D, where job stability is good, this leads to some engineers who have been coasting for years.

Pros

Free breakfast and lunches, and dinners if you worked late. A membership at the gym, movie screenings, swag at movie releases, and great wrap parties.

Cons

Since the new management decided to shut down a whole studio while still investing in their overseas studios, I think the Cons are pretty clear. Oh, plus really low pay.

Gonna miss it there

Pros

Great place to work, highly collaborative and creative environment. Some of the best people I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

Cons

It's tough to be a movie studio these days. With costs of making animated films so high, each movie has to be a hit. A few missteps at the box office can lead to big problems.
