Pros

Powerful brand with great recognition Perks are great since joining hands with Disney Work life balance depends on your Manager Great coworkers (depends on your department)

Cons

No growth because it's based on who you know. Yes they encourage you to apply in-house but it's favoritism and politics. If you are in the NY office be prepared to be treated like step children compared to Bristol campus. Bristol gets everything ESPN while you feel left out Imbalance in work load. Some employees get away with a lot and again it boils down to favoritism. Diversity can be worked on a bit more especially with minorities
