Pros

There are some really great people who work here! The health insurance benefits are great. There are some really fun perks from both ESPN and from Disney. Good amount of roles get over time. The Disney name and ESPN look great on a resume. There are certainly areas of the company that you can move through that won't have the same issues as others.

Cons

Disney family companies consistently pay under market value, so most positions are under paid for the work you do. You get into the Disney Parks for free, but that doesn't go far when you live in Connecticut. The culture is you're expected to work a minimum of 2-3 levels above your current role, but it's unlikely you'll get promoted. You're just supposed to grin and take it no matter how overwhelmed you are or unsustainable it is. The expectation is that you will live in Connecticut for most roles, there seems to be no plan to make remote work a future option though it would be wildly popular and retain talent.
