RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Pixar Animation Studios part-time
Pros
Immediate name recognition as a leader in the field. Work with amazing artists in a stimulating and rewarding environment. Get to feel like you're working in Hollywood without actually working in Hollywood.
Cons
It's not a small company... I was there since it was under 100 people big, so it's hard to know what it's like for someone just starting out and trying to have an impact. Low salaries compared to other tech jobs.
"Great people, but mid-sized company movement"

Approves of CEOI worked at Pixar Animation Studios full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Some of the kindest, most caring people around. People work here because they're committed to making the best CG animated films, and not because of the pay.
Cons
Now that Pixar has grown into a mid-sized company room for growth and movement has become glacial. If you're aiming for a job with lots of opportunities, this probably isn't the place. If you're in admin the pay can be downright abysmal.

Great work culture; inclusive, knowledgeable, and fun!
Cons
Location is too close to Oakland and living expenses of the bay area are through the roof.

Pros
You work at Pixar! Killer pickup basketball and soccer ... on the campus! Great gym, pool! Oh my - it’s a country club barely outside West Oakland
Cons
Fear of the chain of command is deep seeded on the tech side, people are afraid to speak up, to be creative
Continue reading Pros
Wonderful projects, great people, extraordinary culture.
Cons
If you're not interesting in filmmaking, probably not for you.
