Pros

1. Management doesn't get any better - a place where people truly care about their employees 2. Business units work together - never had a problem getting information I needed 3. People are great 4. Benefits and compensation ok - bonuses for employees not at Director level and above are discretionary and not a significant amount 5. Good place to learn the business 6. Access to theme park and screenings

Cons

1. Didn't feel like I was working with the best in the business - some co-workers were there much longer than me but had no idea what they're doing and just getting by under the radar 2. Promotions are somewhat political - altho this seems like a common issue at most studios/jobs 3. Salary is much higher at other studios (ie, WB and Sony) - for same role I could've been making 20% more + bonus 4. The better you are at your job, going above and beyond becomes the norm - your bosses don't notice when you become that person doing 10+ hour days while everyone else does 8

Pros

Great perks and benefits! Free theme park tickets, cable, peacock subscription. Good place for interns

Cons

Entry level pay is very poor and not sustainable. Lot of politics when it comes to promotions and it is based more on relationship with management rather than actual performance. Upper management just takes all your work and presents as their own. Fake it till you make is at every level of this organization. Hired people as remote and now is laying everyone off.
