Pros

* Catered breakfast and lunch. * Beautiful manicured campus. * Artistic environment like working in an art gallery.

Cons

* Very few opportunities for advancement. * Nepotism trumps merit; the most successful people are not rewarded while the friends of managers are given multiple chances to fail and promoted regardless. * Outdated software development tools and practices outside of the CGI domain; they'll recruit experts for rendering, simulation and special effects but trust film majors with architecting a production pipeline.
