Pros
Incredible people and projects. The passion for building incredible guest experiences was inspiring.

Pros
Great people! Good company benefits. Lots of talented and wonderfully creative people to work with. Good communications throughout. Fun and comfortable and always challenging environment to work in. I would work there again in a heartbeat.
Cons
Sometimes you come across some big egos, but generally, if you know how to get along with big egos, if you know how to stroke them properly, then it's generally pretty easy to get your work done without too much mental and emotional pain.
