Pros

For someone with massive corporate overlords they offer great benefits for their employees. Decent compensation but you can build over Long term incentives. The health and family planning benefits are great. There is a great deal of diversity among employees and is a very pro LGBTQA+ and very disability friendly. Employees are nice and the tech departments aren't too button up

Cons

Some to most of the tech stack and business models are very antiquated and slower to move than they should, but Disney ESPN is huge and not reactive in that way. Movement is possible between teams, but teams themselves have fairly specific and repetitively iterative projects.
