Terrible , Horrible, No Good, Very Bad work environment.
Pros
- Working for a powerhouse brand with unbeatable intellectual property - Get to go to Disney parks for free and get discounts while you're there
Cons
It's hard to explain just how awful it is working there compared to what it could be and I say this without anger or resentment, just want to let potential employees know what they're getting themselves into. I'd encourage you to reach out to some past employees on LinkedIn and asking some questions before accepting a job there. On to the review, with the Studios side (there is a very clear line between Studios and Marvel Entertainment) pumping out blockbusters, the Entertainment side has licensing deals thrown into it's lap day in and day out, yet, it still feels like the company is living in the 90s and fighting off bankruptcy. The office morale is non-existent which is really sad because there are so many people there who really love the brand. You'll constantly hear employee's say things like "oh it's just the Marvel way" which really means that nothing as far as how employee's are treated, office cleanliness, or things that happen everyday in the office, no matter how awful, are ever unexpected. Upward mobility doesn't exist. If you're a current employee, please do yourself a favor and interview just to see what you're worth, don't believe them that what you're making is industry standard. It's an extremely flat structure with highly underpaid junior employees and untouchable management that all have been there forever and are a total boy's club. If you're not part of the core crew, you will be let go eventually when somebody needs to be blamed for whatever business unit isn't performing up to par.
