ESPN reviews

For the Bristol office, the downside is being in Bristol. There's really nothing in the area, so unless you have a family and don't want to go out much, the are stinks. Also, because of the demand to work there, the pay isn't that great. For marketing and sale in NY, I didn't think there was much interest in pushing the bounds of technology. Plus, ESPN works in Disney's propriety language, which isn't really useful anywhere outside of Disney.

the location is absolutely horrible if you are relatively you and would like to have a life outside of work at all. ESPN has a strange culture of devaluing the experiences of people who've come from other places, by making it seem as thought whatever you did before arriving here was JV. communication across the organization is absolutely horrible, and i think the company suffers for 1 - not having any real competition to speak of; and 2 - it's geographic isolation. they dont (really) have to compete for talent on the production front because if you want to work in sports media, this is supposedly the Mecca...because of that, they arent forced to listen to the concerns of their people, because the threat of them leaving is relatively low. there is also a general day-to-day environment of complacency and doing things "they way they've always been done."
