Pros

High profile company in the industry, with lots of resources. Well-positioned to be a major player for the foreseeable future. Very talented colleagues. Smart leadership on the content side. Disney parks free passes and discounts.

Cons

Smaller revenue producing projects get dwarfed on priority list by bigger content properties. Hard to grow an emerging business that way. Certain stories you can't pursue due to league relationships. Limited number of cities you can work from. Advancement opportunities unclear. As with any large company, not the most nimble. Takes a very conservative view towards fair use of others content. Legal department is overly risk averse.
