Pros

The leadership at Falcon's cares deeply about the image they present as a group. This leads to a very cool work space, some solid volunteering opportunities, and getting treated pretty well at IAAPA There is generally a strong team oriented vibe when things are going well, and the owner goes out of his way to encourage a "positive culture". If you're fresh out of school Falcon's also gets you a chance to work on some pretty interesting ip's while adapting them to themed attractions.

Cons

As I said before, the leadership at Falcon's cares deeply about the image they present as a group. This generally seems to be more important than producing the best product possible for their clients. I have no doubt that the ownership has a tremendous amount of passion for the company and the content they produce, however the way this is expressed resembles a selfish child unwilling to take criticism more than it does a forward thinking adult looking to improve in any way possible. It is common to be disregarded as a professional unless you have years of experience under your belt, and even then using the wrong language to inform your leads that the schedule you're on is unrealistic can get you fired on the spot. There seems to be a struggle to recognize the difference between criticism born of caring invested employees, and negativity for negativity's sake. It is common to work far above 40 hours a week because the schedules are often far too aggressive for the number of artists working there. This is partially reflective of a lack of knowledge from upper management as it concerns 3d media generation. HR doesn't exist, and leadership isn't willing to directly tell you when you've done something that displeases them, which leads to awkward conversations with no real conclusion. You can be informed you're doing a great job by the CEO one day and be let go the next without any reasonable explanation as to why. In short, there is very little in the way of respect for their staff from a group that preaches positive culture and demands you respect their pedigree. In general Falcon's is a company that wants a small group of loyal people willing to buy in long term, yet they find excuses to drive those very people off or just let them go with no notice as soon as they have the slightest excuse. To make matters worse, they are more than willing to lie to the rest of the company about why you were let go and portray you in a negative way.

Pros

It's hard to find Pros to this company other than the few friends I made working here.

Cons

Falcon's has zero tact when it comes to making corrections. During my time here, I saw so many major issues and yet ZERO were ever even attempted to be fixed. The biggest issue is the egos Senior Leadership has. Too delicate to collaborate with one another, and the smugness some "leaders" have was disgusting. I had multiple instances where Directors and VP's would spend an entire meeting arguing with each other over whose idea was better, never getting any actual work done, and then the front line staff gets reamed by the client on conference calls when work was incomplete. The company is so worried about their stock value, they can't recognize how terrible their culture is (irrespective of how much their CCO claims how important it is), how they have no respect for life/work balance, and how they prioritize their client over their employees. It's common to be expected to work crazy hours, take meetings at any time of the day, and be disciplined (by the company AND client) for taking time off. Also common for managers to berate and belittle employees in front of others. Never got paid promised holiday bonuses either. Also, if you really want to know the trouble this company is in, do a Google search for "Falcons Beyond Lawsuit". I never saw a single thing we worked on actually get produced. If you want to work on actual projects, look elsewhere.
