Pluspunten

1) Average work environment 2) One of the respectable companies in movie/animation industry 3) Every employee gets movie credits!! 4) Free breakfast & lunch

Minpunten

1) Tools/infrastructure is age old; after having worked in the hi-tech industry, it was kind of a shocker for me 2) For an engineer interested in working on cutting-edge technology, job scope scope is very limited. I am comparing with my experience in companies like Google, Apple, Adobe, Microsoft, etc (where either I have worked or interviewed with) and based on my experience & interest, I won't be inclined to work at Dreamworks (that being the reason I left relatively quickly). With that being said, Dreamworks might compare favorably with other movie companies (Pixar, Disney, ILM, etc) but I don't have any firsthand information on the same. 3) Compensation: doesn't compare favorably with hi-tech industry like the one's above. Minimal to zero stock benefits, no ESPP, minimal 401K match; the base salary is somewhat reasonable, may be a bit lower than the industry standard.
