      Pros

      I am currently working at this studio on their upcoming film ME AND MY SHADOW, which was delayed for a long time but is finally in production. Let me just say that working here is fantastic. Free food and parking. This studio is going back to 2d animation.

      Cons

      No cons. Great place to work.

      Finance, Accountants - Approach with caution....

      Pros

      Technical knowledge of accounting and finance management is solid. They are conservative in their approach, and keep all well informed. Their methodologies are a bit unorthodox, but they certainly do their best to get things right, and record them properly. Oh yeah, there's the free breakfast and lunches to all employees, a nice perk, but they really had no choice - there's nothing to eat around the campus. No gym, but they do have yoga and other classes available.

      Cons

      Where do I begin? Inexperienced management is a start. While most are technically solid, they lack the people management experience to truly develop talent. Instead of teaching, they spend their time fighting one fire after another. Blame is not squarely on them - senior management - both operational and financial - have a "shoot first, do the accounting later" attitude that fuels the ensuing chaos. Also, they tend to not see the forest for the trees. While these characteristics are not uncommon in some major employers, to have all of them working at the same time in a company is the perfect employee storm.
