Pros

I've worked at several companies and this is by far the best experience I've had so far. My division really prioritizes work-life balance - I rarely receive an email after 7pm and almost never on weekends. Mandatory work from office only 3 days a week, but the office environment is actually great, with occasional events/lunches, fully stocked fridge/pantry, and a stunning lot that employees have access to. There's a heavy workflow and although I'm consistently busy, it's typically not overwhelming (with some exceptions). Opportunity for growth - I've always been assigned projects that truly challenge me and expand my knowledge not only of the industry/entertainment law, but of Universal and it's history. Universal seems to value long-term employees - Most people I've worked with have been here 5+ years, with many being here 10-20+ years. People seem to stay here because they're actually happy and from what I've heard there are consistent merit increases and very few layoffs. No job/company is perfect, but this seems to be one of the more stable/healthy studios. There's a lot of opportunities to network and meet people outside of your team/division. Some perks like park access, screenings, events, etc.

Cons

The pay ranges for roles are at or slightly below other major studios and should be more competitive. It would be great to have more screenings for employees (there's usually only 2-3 per year). Should expand park access for employees (most employees only get 2 tickets per year).

Pros

My manager didn't care about vacation time, if work wasn't stacking up. 4 free tickets to Universal Studios.

Cons

Crappy laptop to do development on. Have to have that same crappy laptop for 5 years, sadness. Irritating quarterly meetings, latest is they only want you to leave on the last day whereas before you could at least leave the next morning.
