Pros

ESPN and Disney could not be a better employer. They truly work to make the employment experience about much more than work. The benefits are great and the incentives are motivating.

Cons

Like many large corporations, there are many layers of bureaucracy to deal with. 90% of the time, the people doing the best work are rewarded and compensated for their efforts. But you'll see the squeaky wheel get the grease 10% of the time and that can be pretty frustrating.

Pros

People that work here are the best in the business, and a work/life balance is strongly encouraged. The company is is position to succeed in the long term.

Cons

...depending on the department, you're not really paid like you're best in the business. Sometimes you get caught up in the fact that you work on sports and entertainment, and forget that your equals/colleagues in the industry are probably being paid 15-20% more than you are.
