Pros

Great Benefits due to being Disney owned Best Advertising and Production Talent you can find in sports

Cons

Hard to get talent due to being in Bristol. Innovation is no longer a priority and has been stymied So many people just take up desk space with senior titles while doing mid to jr level work. Contentment has set in which is allowing for poor leadership and no direction to occur in technology. Many in management distrusts everyone around them and belittles you if you don't do things in the same style. The video stack is a horrible mess and many managers treat everything as a fire -> focus is not on fix this but on CYA all the time. Most developers treat everyone with contempt while bragging about completing tasks that a jr level engineer should be able to complete, they also will take your work and use it for personal gain while leaving your credit out to dry. There is little true talent left here and the ones who are left are clawing to keep the ship afloat but getting slapped hard along the way.
