Pros

Quality of work life was the very best of all of the animation companies at that time. It actually didn't feel like you were going to work at a corporation, but at an artist retreat.

Cons

The review and rankings process of all employees made quick judgements on your future (from people who never worked with you) and if you were in fact - "promotion material". There was a definite ceiling to your future within the company, as the company looked to hire from the outside for most higher tiered positions, rather than working to grow its own.
