Pros
Artists are idealistic, energetic, and talented. Many who have left the company have been hugely successful elsewhere. Building is spacious and hip, and neighborhood has some of the best character in Dallas. Good, safe parking comes in handy for after-hours pub crawling.
Cons
Artists are expendable. Very common for staffers to simply vanish overnight, with no explanation given. Project budgets are entirely about underbidding India and Taiwan. They will not be undersold, and deliver beautiful results thanks to permanent crunch times from lower levels. Favoritism is rife. A few get cars and fridges of Red Bull, many get broken chairs and hand-me-down computers. Work-life balance is great for upper management and those they favor, and severely broken for the rank-and-file. Studio is a means for the owners and their friends to play Hollywood. Middle management comprised largely of former artists who don't like managing but do like the perks. Pipeline and production tools based entirely on the whims of a couple of favored techs who prefer job security to efficiency.
