Part of NBCUniversal

Is this your company?

A very big ship that does not adapt well to new ideologies but has great people and resources in the trenches. - Anonymous employee DreamWorks Animation Employee Review

Pros

Competitive wages. Free breakfast and lunch. Beautiful campus. World class talent in every department.

Cons

The films are beautifully crafted with respect to the look, but the stories and projects chosen to go into production are a clear indication of how out of touch the upper executives are with the average moviegoing family. The strong corporate culture is often not conducive to making the most compelling artwork possible. This is a culture of fear that rewards people of clinging to established workflows and ideologies at the peril of innovation. Artists need innovation and the ability to try new things without fear of reprisal.
