Pros: Nice perks if you are a Disney fan and live closish to one of the parks. Streaming work has been remote since before 2020, and is not likely to change anytime soon. Depending on what project you are on, workflow and deadlines can be pretty reasonable, with no consistent crunch or long hours.

Cons: Depending on what project you are on, workflow and deadlines can be pretty silly, leading to long hours and some crunch for releases. Disney is not a traditional person tech company and is going through some pains as it tries to become one in the streaming world. This has led to a lot of turnover and unclear priorities.

Pros: Great perks with free park passes and discounts on merch and hotels. Get to work with some of the world's best IP. Provided nice office equipment.

Cons: The biggest con was a very slow and old-school engineering culture. The terms "Retired in Place" and "Not Invented Here" syndrome applied. People were afraid to modernize tooling or processes because everything was so easy to break. High-level engineers were happy to waste days on scut work (the kind of stuff that is normally automated elsewhere). The mouse has pretty deep pockets, so it's not a skin off their back, but it's not a good atmosphere to build a career in (unless you want to be a career clock-puncher watching technology pass you by). Engineers didn't seem to be interested in fixing bugs or doing root cause analysis, just playing hot potato with them to keep work off their plate (and so things get dropped and don't get fixed). It was embarrassing working on software that was so unforgivably buggy and seeing how little the other engineers there cared about the impact on the end-user.

Pros: Disney benefits, intelligent technology selection. Engineers and techs are generally well-skilled.

Cons: Terrible work/life balance. Poor management, unrealistic expectations, low pay.
