      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

      Pros

      Super smart people that are fun to work with They invest a lot in training and continuing education Great environments with lots of perks like free breakfast and lunch

      Cons

      This is a Hollywood company, in many ways. Expect employment contracts and occasional layoffs (though DWA has fewer than most in the industry). You're working in a fun environment on a cool product, so if you're a techie you're not going to make as much as you will at a tech company. Crunch time for a film means working 6 day weeks for the last several months of a production, though if you're not directly on a film you'll have a more normal schedule.
