ESPN reviews

- management...ESPN is run by male dinosaurs who are behind in the tech space and the outlook for a media company in today's landscape. Constant talk of cord cutting, yet when it's mentioned that you don't have cable, it's incomprehensible to them. When it's brought up that certain tech or way of doing things needs improvement, they "look into it" for about 2 years, then the conversation dies. - Work/life balance is horrendous. Expected to be on-call basically 24/7 without extra pay for constantly monitoring your cell. - The on-air talent are hit or miss. Sometimes great to work with, mostly arrogant and rude. - No opportunity to advance simply based on how well you do your job...if you haven't been there X amount of years or if you aren't X years old, good luck making your way up the totem pole.

Obviously, Bristol. A huge amount of incompetence at the director/vp level which makes everyone's life hell. I left because my boss was so bad. Lots of 70 hour weeks at terrible pay. They will pay you nothing because there are a line of thousands of other people who want to work here behind you. You are on a need-to-know basis about anything. Curiosity and new ideas are not welcome. Richard Deitsch/Jim Miller tell you if you're going to be fired and if the product/show you work on is going to be abandoned. I once asked my boss for sports tickets and thought I was going to get fired for even thinking of such a thing. He then went to MNF two weeks later. Their incentive/bonus structure (long-term incentive cash) rewards time, not performance. Reorg every six months. Layoffs every year. This is just what came to the top of my head. Don't work here.
