Pros

Really wonderful people to work for, lots of excitement, fair pay.

Cons

Project employees receive minimum benefits (no sick time, no vacation, no student reimbursement), ESPN has been laying off employees around the fall since 2013 which causes moral to drop.

Pros

great benefits, really really great people, its the world wide leader, youre creating some of the best content in the world.

Cons

salary, state taxes, and living in CT is really expensive. the salary doesnt help much with living expenses. you really have to lower your standards of living, social life, and happiness when moving here for work. there is nothing here but the job, literally. it is difficult to move up and get promoted. the promotion rate here is pretty awful for such a massive company.

Pros

Creative environment, fun work environment, collegiate atmosphere, Disney benefits and free park admission, great employee resource groups, great leadership position in LGBT inclusion

Cons

Promotions are nearly nonexistent in production areas as any open positions are usually filled from outside candidates, Location (Bristol is pretty terrible), strong undercurrent of sexism - women are often overlooked for promotion in production areas, lack of diversity in leadership positions, pay is well below industry average at lower and mid-level positions
