Pros
- IP is great if that’s your thing. - Structure, benefits, nice office. - Pockets of good people and teams.
Cons
- Overinflated middle management that depending on department can just be yes-men going against good business decisions and logic. - Sales orgs acting without consequence, are allowed to treat the people “under them” (are technically partners) like garbage and there’s nothing people can do about it. Taking months and months to unlearn and feel comfortable at a new company. - High-school behavior. Extremely fake people who will support you to your face but will bully you behind closed doors. Get away with anything if you are one of the “beautiful” people (usually come from generational wealth). - Some people can get away with being extreme micro-managers and frankly inhumane, while others on their team can kick back, knowing nothing about their work and shelling the responsibility to lower level people in a pod. - Don’t let the IP keep you hat the company if it’s bad for your career or mental health, Disney IP will always be there. And tickets to the park will be more affordable if you take a higher paying job that’s better for you. - Too much change that’s nonsensical, being asked to train AI to do our jobs. - Even the best of management cannot protect you from terrible people if those people are in Sales.
