Pros

It's a magic factory. High tech tools. You'll support Oscar winners. Free movies weekly. Industry artifacts scattered throughout the office. Great location.

Cons

Disney gutted the company. My estimation is 700 total layoffs this past April out of about 1900 employees (not just LucasArts.) Company is currently in turmoil with reorganization. A great number of those not laid off are not happy with the new management structure. Counting myself being laid off as a blessing. Hopefully, Lucasfilm will rise from the ashes leaner and stronger, but for the next year or two it's going to be a terrible place to work. Note that below it says George Lucas is CEO of the company. He no longer is, it's technically Bob Iger. My vote below is based on Bob. I have nothing but good words to say about George. Everybody who has ever worked, directly or indirectly, for him loves him.
