      Pros

      Great company to work for. They invest in employees and provide good benefits. Very good work environment. Lots of perks.

      Cons

      Change can be slow, as with most big companies. This prevents a lot of good feedback from being fully implemented. Most entry-level jobs (and many middle-management roles) require night/weekend/holiday hours. Because of demand most entry-level roles are underpaid.

      Pros

      You love sports. You know your boss personally. You program in Java. and love Disney.

      Cons

      Project employees are treated like 2nd class. Company values on the card don't hold true in real life. Kiss up kick down culture. Knowing the existing domain is far more highly valued than technical skill. Very immature technical culture that is not interested in keeping with the times. Beware the project employee; it's just an internal contract that is over with the project with reduced benefits. I can't recommend it to anyone, let alone a friend.

      Pros

      A great company. Good to their employees. Great benefits and incentives & activities. Everything done there is an excellent product. The best it can be. One can take pride in that. I loved that about the company. It is a class act!

      Cons

      It's huge company so staffs work life can be dramatically difference. It can feel like you are in a non-stop factory if you are in production, 24/7/365. Some never having holidays or a 2 days weekend off (just 2 single days during the week). OR you can have a stressful and intense but not long hour job as I did. I was compensated very well. Schedules and hours can vary big time from group to group. They will get you at the lowest salary that they can so get all you can in the beginning. Most people just jump on board to work for ESPN. If you have to live in Bristol, CT. Well....it's Bristol, CT. Long cold snowy winters.
