Pros

It's a good company in that it is a Disney organization and there are a lot of great benefits from that

Cons

Poor Leadership, Closed Mindset - wants diversity to hire but push you to think like them so diversity is not really appreciated. Also very much an old boys club and lacks good vision. It's not a supportive culture, in fact it is all about who like you and not about your skills. They need to change the culture. I think Disney really needs to go in and clean up the mess they created

Pros

Excellent company to work for -- especially under the Disney umbrella. Great campus, people, and challenging work. There's a great deal of pride that goes into delivering the excellent content, interesting projects, and day to day operations. Huge respect for John Skipper.

Cons

After years of steady growth, the company is now starting to mature and faces challenges in cost management and delivering against high expectations from Disney. ESPN will need to learn to manage their operations much more efficiently and hopefully keep the layoffs to a minimum going forward.
