Pros

DreamWorks has some extremely cool, talented, and kind people, and I love being able to learn about their part of the pipeline and just getting to know them. The free food is awesome, as well as the art development events and movie-related perks

Cons

I felt that people are not as willing to take the time to teach you things as people often say, and didn't quite receive as much attention as I'd hoped.
