Pros

The opportunities within such a large organization are endless, between divisions, and even across disciplines. Its fun to contribute to well respected entertainment experiences, and you get to work alongside some pretty neat teammates and partners.

Cons

As with any large company, there is a lot of red tape and procedural burdens. In general, but not in every case, the price you pay for the stability of a career within a well established company is a lower salary than you may get at a start-up or elsewhere perhaps. We run scared of liability too much, both in terms of our consumer facing products and services, as well as our own internal practices and programs.

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.
