      - Some tech choices veer from best tools on market
      - Animation tools' backward compatibility leaves some systems a bit antiquated

      Contract Administrator Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate in Glendale, CA
      No Offer
      Negative Experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at DreamWorks Animation (Glendale, CA).

      Interview

      Applied directly with the company. Within about a week, I was being interviewed. Met with one person for the interview. In my honest opinion, that person's behavior was hostile, agressive, abusive, and incredibly unprofessional. It became clear to me why the former position holder left the company for another opportunity.
