Pros

Worked on some interesting projects and technologies. Got to work on some high profile shows and learned a lot about building to scale. Worked with some excellent people.

Cons

Contractors were not treated very well. We were very much second class employee's. We had different badges and had separate areas for seating but when it came to the work we were contractors in name only. The experience just left me sour to the company.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
