      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart, motivated people. Free lunch & breakfast. First run movie screenings. Lots of booze on hand. Sharing of knowledge. Internal classes/learning opportunities. Lots of parties. A world class product for the most part.

      Cons

      Very competitive even within departments. Too director driven- if you get a bad one to work with morale is greatly affected and nothing can be done about it. Weak producers don't do anything to push directors to stick to schedules. Constant story issues that affect schedules and morale. Layoffs.

      Great working environment. Friendly staff. Ability to learn from peers both on the production and artistic side of the studio. Production is open to coordinators changing departments in order to get a wide range of experience throughout the pipeline.

      Cons

      Instability of some projects and growth opportunities vary based on project status.

      Pros

      I was a production intern here. The company really makes an effort to involve you in the work. There are also a lot of awesome opportunities with guest speakers and networking to learn about other parts of the company

      Cons

      Some days could be a bit slow
