Pros
The best reasons to work for ESPN are the opportunities to learn multiple skill sets that one can use on any job, regardless of which department you end up going in to. My management if very open to ideas and suggestions from their employees who report to them and really make the effort to help one develop and work towards their professional goals.
Cons
One of the downsides of working for ESPN is the technology. I feel our technology is lacking when it comes to being in step or ahead of our competitors. Instead of being pioneers in technology, I feel in many ways we are playing catch-up. Many of the systems I use to work on frequently go down or have outages which slows my productivity down a great deal. I also feel like we need to be more competitive when it comes to pay. From what I've heard, we are behind when it comes to pay for certain positions over our competitors.
