Pros
Proximity to NYC. Smallish studio promotes faster growth opportunities (than competitors Dreamworks, Pixar). There's a pride to being the "little guy" in comparison to competition. The crew is friendly, open, and talented. Certainly the most talented group of people I've ever worked with in my career.
Cons
Being owned by 20th Century Fox (in LA) but operating on the east coast has inherent problems: Blue Sky management has limited power. Visionary thinking is not asked for (from management). Our movies are hampered by the same mediocre filter that greenlights and develops the rest of Fox's middling releases. Our movies always make a profit which is an unfortunate recipe for playing it safe.
