Pros

A personal pride that comes with knowing you work for Lucasfilm. The satisfaction of feeling like you can actually take part in rather senior level type of decisionmaking even if you are not at a senior level.

Cons

Management treats employees like children, giving them virtually no awareness of the budget process or overall vision of the company. Sometimes I thought that the most senior management genuinely didn't understand the business. Even the simplest decisions like where to stay on a business trip have to get "approved". Also, and the worst part -- senior management doesn't even know or care about Star Wars or Indiana Jones, sometimes it's like these things are actively DISLIKED.
