Trimming the fat - Manager DreamWorks Animation Employee Review

Pros

Tight-knit family culture Beautiful campus Free, quality food in the commissary

Cons

While the perks are great, the company struggled financially with a string of misses at the box office in recent years and mismanagement. Free food, above-market salaries, and a bloated management structure cannot be justified in that environment. With the acquisition by Comcast NBCUniversal, it will have to go through some painful cultural change that will disappoint many loyal employees (that includes possibly discontinuing free food), but ultimately it will be for the better good of the company. I know that the new owners are serious in turning the business around and will invest heavily to bring it up to Pixar's league.
