LucasArts: a lot of potential, but clear direction is still uncertain

Business Outlook
Pros
The work environment is pleasant, and benefits are good. Resources are top-notch, with less bureaucracy than many publicly held companies. Working hours are usually flexible.
Cons
The company has lofty goals, but they often seem unrealistic given the lack of communication or clear vision of how to accomplish those goals. While the LucasArts campus is pleasant and new, the physical location of the campus can be a downside for people that live outside of the heart of San Francisco. No freeways lead to the area from the south, adding 20 minutes commute time to anyone on the peninsula, and from the north there's the bottleneck of the Golden Gate, along with its toll.
