Being in the building and around the artists was inspiring. Lots of amazing content being created and activities to be part of. Some truly wonderful people and products you could be proud of.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Walt Disney Animation Studios full-time
Pros
Great benefits package (perks), working at a legacy studio with some of the greatest artists and talent on the planet, very comfortable building with inspiring artwork gracing the halls, parking on campus and decent food options both on campus and near by.
Cons
A dismal Onboarding plan for artist (depending on department). Reactionary management and poor show supervision. Fear based management tactics, employees are afraid to loose their jobs, or get pushed out of their department and not get to go back, or be written up by show leadership and there's little recourse . Most employees have little experience outside Disney and they're afraid to leave or look to see what's available in the industry whether it be software, workflow, tactics and so it's a bit outdated in approach (like most legacy studios).
