Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 2.0Jul 29, 2011Production CoordinatorCurrent EmployeeEmeryville, CA
Pros
Very smart, talented, cool people. Great facilities - pool, basketball court, volleyball court, lots of green space Generally Pixar movies are well respected and you can be proud of your work Fun perks
Cons
Opportunities for advancement are few. The studio has become very fast paced and there's not much time for mentorship or attention to growth (or reviews). Work life balance becomes very difficult 6 months a year. Payscale is for 50 hour workweek, but amount is more on par with a 40 hour workweek.
