      Pros

      Recognizable brand, excellent compensation, fun business to be in. There's plenty of work to do, so don't worry about being bored.

      Cons

      Bristol is dreadful, always being on top has made us complacent.

      Pros

      Morale is pretty high at ESPN for the most part. We treat sports pretty seriously but we understand it's just a game and it's to be enjoyed. They’re serious about diversity here. (Though their top executives don’t reflect that. Hopefully this is something they are working on.) If you love sports, you will fit right in.

      Cons

      It’s still pretty much a bro culture. There are many sharp, talented women, but you definitely fit in more if you’re most comfortable in a golf shirt and khakis.

      Don't work at ESPN if you're not a sports fan.

      Pros

      Salary is competitive, despite what some employees think. The benefits are very good. The best thing about ESPN is job security. You have to really screw up to get fired.

      Cons

      The culture has changed a lot since the early days. It's an extremely competitive environment and it's very tough to advance. There is a zero-sum mentality among management - they like to observe the competition to see who will win. Your personality has a lot do with how far you advance. If you don't fit a certain mold, the opportunity for promotion will be slim.
