Pros
Life at ESPN is what you make it. I’ve gotten the chance to work on creative projects. Sometimes we have the flexibility of working from home. Free Disney tickets are a plus if you have kids or just enjoy Disney. Make the best of your time here.
Cons
I’ve experienced a few layoffs during my time with the company. It can be a little uneasy seeing so many friends and co-workers depart from the company. It’s sometimes a revolving door. The hardest part for some is living in Bristol, Connecticut. It’s not much to do except work. Hard for upper mobility in some departments. Easier for people with families to thrive, not ideal for young single adults. Upward mobility seems like a dream sometimes rather than a reality. Unfortunately, there’s not much diversity at the company and even less at the management level.
