      For the temp employee, the job paid little and involved long hours and few perks.

      Pros

      The scale of what they are doing is incredible. The amount of work they do and the variety of work they do is amazing. It's a diverse place.

      Cons

      Job security can be low and minimal for entry level employees and temp workers. The pay is very low for them as well with few benefits that the salaried people have.

      Pros

      Laid back campus, casual environment, excellent no-cost breakfast and lunch for all employees, full benefits packages, generally calm demeanor of management, all levels of senior managements are very approachable, always easy to know where you stand.

      Cons

      Departments can be a bit defensive and territorial about their projects and assets, some silliness from cliques forming among young and wildly immature employees.

      New daily challenges in a community of friendly and motivated world-class artists and developers.

      Pros

      Everyday I work with an excellent, motivated, friendly and down to earth group of people. You all ultimately work on family friendly projects that you can be proud of. Technical roles can require a mix of technical skills supplemented by an artistic background. General hours are not as hectic as the majority of the CG industry. Great perks.

      Cons

      The TD role can earn a smaller salary when compared with a vanilla software engineering job, but it is comparable to similar roles in the VFX industry and is balanced by a good working environment.
