Just avoid Disney. Poor software engineering
Just avoid Disney. Poor software engineering
Friendly people, supported by profitable segments other than streaming. Good use of cloud and modern toolsets.
Top tier only believes in short-term solutions.
Three re-orgs in the past four years. Lots of silos.
Nobody is experienced in leading the streaming organization from "high debt, low velocity" to "low debt, high velocity," so it's just hack after hack after hack, with long hours, blame, and missed deadlines.
Things only get done by a few people making herculean efforts at the last minute.
They're right to replace the top exec management, but they keep getting the wrong folks who leave things as they are.
If you want to build software, just don't work here. Also, compensation is about 20% below average over time. Note the stock price over the past five years. Compare to Netflix or Prime Video.
