DreamWorks Animation reviews

Work has been very unsteady since 2013. Major lay-offs and a whole closure of the northern studio has many feeling insecure about the longevity of the studio. Also, there is a huge jump in salary. If you are in the entry-level through Prod Sup category, you don't get paid much. As soon as you jump over into upper management (if you can - there aren't many opportunities) the pay is extraordinarily higher. It's a very top heavy studio.

A real NIH attitude towards all software, possibly stemming from the PDI staff having been present way back when every pixel cost ten thousand dollars. I remember looking at header files from the 80s. Also, not a software company, so engineering was "overhead" instead of "profit center." This may have changed more recently. If you truly love high-end computer graphics, though, this was a destination job and may still be.
