Great work culture
13 Mar 2016 - Department Technical Director in BangaloreRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The work culture is amazing! People love to site to your ideas and share and it is a very creative and helpful environment. As a Technical Director, we received a lot of freedom in projects we wanted to work on or initiatives we wanted to take. Great perks, good mentorship and hierarchy feels pretty flat, so even when you join you are given a great amount of responsibility and importance and are taken very seriously.
Cons
Not the best option for people in tech in the long run. Sometimes work/life balance can get thrown off especially during crunch time, but I was personally not too badly bothered by it. Some work as a TD can get repetitive and stale, but that is alright as long as you take initiative to be involved in interesting studio projects.

Pros
DreamWorks Animation is one of the best places to work for in the Animation industry. A great work culture, amazing colleagues and good managers. Sad that it is downsizing now, not sure how the place will change with Jeffrey Katzenberg gone. Hope the new parent company preserves the culture and ethos of this great company.
Cons
A complex pipeline that is sometimes painful to work with. Legacy technology - they need to use more modern software, workflows and methods.

- Had good benefits and culture. Died once Universal took over. - had great leaders and open culture but that went away too
Cons
- universal takeover and just decided to layoff pretty much everyone - JK promised job security and support when takeover happened and said nothing would change but that was as far from reality as one can imagine.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Work culture that promotes art and creativity. Employee are well taken care. Top of the line computers and monitors for performing the job. Spacious desks. Pantry is loaded with food and beverages. Free movie tickets every month and other perks. Company organized parties are fabulous.
Cons
If anything, the shot approval process could be streamlined.
