      Pros

      Food on campus, nice people. Beautiful campus, sit/stand desks

      Cons

      Chronically overwork and underpay prod staff, can’t make a livable wage for the area. If you don’t drink the koolaid they consider you a problem. It’s been over a year and they still won’t sit and negotiate with prod staff for unionizing. Say they want diversity and inclusion but don’t follow that theos as all

      Pros

      🎨 Creative and Collaborative Culture – Strong emphasis on storytelling, innovation, and artistic expression. 👥 Supportive Teams – Colleagues and managers are generally approachable and team-oriented. ⚖️ Work-Life Balance – Many employees report reasonable hours and flexibility, especially in non-production roles. 🏢 Great Facilities – Beautiful campuses with on-site amenities like dining, fitness centers, and open studio spaces. 📈 Professional Development – Opportunities for learning, mentorship, and skill growth within animation and production departments. 🌍 Inclusive Culture – Efforts toward diversity and inclusion have been highlighted by many team members.

      Cons

      🏛️ Corporate Influence – Post-acquisition changes (e.g., Comcast/NBCUniversal) have introduced more bureaucracy and less creative autonomy in some departments. 📉 Limited Upward Mobility – Some roles, especially in production support, may offer fewer clear paths for advancement. ⏳ Pacing Variability – Workload can fluctuate significantly depending on the production cycle or department. 💬 Communication Gaps – Like many large studios, internal communication can occasionally be siloed or unclear.
