Pros

Surrounded by like-minded smart people. Internal opportunities are there to advance if you are able to network well. Good training program in Bristol headquarters and some perks.

Cons

A little clicky - tough to advance unless you are in the 'in' crowd. Fairly long hours and no real feedback or encouragement to work hard.

Pros

It's cool to say you work at ESPN, everyday is different, there are good people amongst the lower level employee crowd. You may meet celebrities and travel to major sports events. You also may do none of that.

Cons

The stuff you read on Deadspin is all true. And they only report a drop in the bucket. Morals and morale are very low. Watch your back. Poor pay. You are a cog in a very large machine.
