Pros
Some talented, creative individuals are left but too many have already left and are never replaced.
Cons
The middle management disaster and now the company has become Prime Focus in all but name.
Advice to Management
Remember what made you into the company that won those Oscars. Talented people and flexibility not moneyball crew manipulation and micromanagement.

Pros
Work conditions are good, salary decent. Comfortable place to end your career without making any waves.
Cons
No company vision, R&D is an afterthought. "Good enough for Marvel" seems to be the extent of our ambition. Typical British "can't do" attitude. Owned by Prime Focus (whose prime focus seems to be cost reduction), check out how they are doing on the BSE.
Advice to Management
Hire competent people instead of bureaucrats. Layers of process and administrative forms are no substitute for actually knowing what you are doing.
