DreamWorks Animation ranked 12th best company to work for in U.S.
Hollywood studios aren’t known as easy places to work. But DreamWorks Animation once again has made Fortune magazine’s list of the 100 best employers.
The Glendale studio behind the “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “Madagascar” movies ranked 12th in the 2013 list, just above Quicken Loans (which ranked 13th) and semiconductor company Qualcomm (11th). Google once again was ranked No. 1.
DreamWorks, with 2,350 employees, was the only Hollywood studio to make the list, which will be released Thursday. Compiled in conjunction with the Great Places to Work Institute, the survey is based on employee surveys and takes into account perks and job growth, among other factors.
