Pixar Animation Studios as an employer.

Some interesting figures about Pixar as an employer.

Pixar, the creator of the mega-hits Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo and The Incredibles is more than just a computer animation studio. It stands poised to become one of the largest entertainment forces of the 21st century. Born in the 1980s as the special effects division of Lucasfilm, the company was spun off in 1986 and acquired by Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, for a cool $10 million. The new company was dubbed Pixar, after the first 3-D graphics system (the Pixar Image Computer) developed by the computer scientists and animators that worked there.
