Pros

'Lucasfilm' on your resume. Good 'war stories' about the slow death of an iconic studio.

Cons

Lucasfilm Singapore is in trouble. A significant proportion of the business is funded by the Singapore government under some sort of industry development scheme. Most of the staff are in some way working on a semi-fictitious film project that will never be released. Semi-fictitious, in that it could only serve the purposes of training. It is so out of odds with the Lucasfilm and Disney brand that I cannot see how it will be screened. If you want to waste years of your career on a direct to DVD animated feature, then Lucasfilm Singapore is for you. The feeling that any 'talent' is there to be exploited and discarded is tangible, and this contributes to shocking morale and poor culture. Pay is poor. Singapore living costs are dramatically understated. Annual leave is poor. Perks are poor. Your team will spend time hitting KPIs for their performance review rather than indulging in creative work. Your manager will misrepresent your contribution to senior management and the US in order to better hit their own KPIs. The new office will pack everybody into a much smaller space without even the 'luxury' of cubicles, so in a way it is good that they have laid a third of the company off.
