Pros

Sometimes there are moments of excitment. The culture and people immediately around me are great. My boss is great and there is definately support for work life balance, time off when you need it, flexibility around personal issues.

Cons

The Disney company is extremly political. There are multiple internal units that are constantly at war with each other. There is very little attention given to external competition, instead we are pitted against other units for the benefit of senior executives's reputations and power base. These units don't share information with each other. People are hired thinking they'll get one job, then end up doing something they didn't want. You only get noticed when something goes wrong. The victories you have are either unnoticed, or seen as negatives because you helped the wrong executive's project.

Pros

Amazing working life balance, company perks (including park access), benefits, great people to work with, company history, etc. PTOs are very flexible. And sometimes you get to enjoy new attractions first hand, before they are open to the public. Also teams get together in the parks occasionally. If you're working on site, they have great offices. I really enjoyed my time there.

Cons

It's huge corporate ecosystem, resulting in many layers of interactions and approvals for even simple things. If you're not a fan of complexes corporate environments, then maybe this ins't the right place for you. The salary are not very competitive, compared to the big techs, if you're working on site in Florida or remote. The salaries are better in CA if you're working on site to compensate the high cost of living in CA.
