      If you are not working in technology I'm sure you are going to love this company.

      Pros

      People actually have passion about the company and its end goal. Most of the people are FANS of the network and LOVE working here. They treat people well and with respect and make sure that the environment is nice.

      Cons

      While ESPN is definitely a leader in sports and TV/Satellite technology, if your focus is technology as in software and application development then this is not a place you want to come. Lots of legacy and crappy code. There's not really a lot of innovation, lots of copy/paste tasks and no clear prospect of this ending as you never have time to fix things. There's also a lot of politics between teams trying to agree who manages what and then blaming each other when things go south.

      Fun Job, Quiet Area

      Pros

      If you like sports, ESPN is a great place to work (obviously). The work itself is very interesting. There was a TV at every desk and employees could watch sports games and sportscenter all day. The campus is very nice, the facilities are great, and there is a terrific gym on the premises.

      Cons

      The downside was that it was in a very quiet, remote part of Connecticut. Most people live in West Hartford, which is a great little city, but it's two hours from New York and two hours from Boston. As someone just out of college I would have preferred a more active area.
