Good place to work for perks and tech. Salaries are only starting to catch up with the industry

Pros

Being able to work with other tech nerds who love all things Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel Cinematic Universe, to just name two.

Access to free or reduced-priced experiences, including park access and Disney cruises.

Free movies on occasion.

Lots of emphasis on skilling up inside the company, with access to training, classes, mentoring, and more.

Super white-glove support from vendors (think of all the big cloud and software vendors, basically), as they value DIS as a customer and want to keep support and satisfaction levels high.

Great work-life balance.

In "Compensation & Benefits," my high score is strictly for the benefits, not so much for compensation.

Cons

Pay is lower than what other comparable positions are making in other big-tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple.

DIS tries to compete for the same candidates but offers lower salaries because of the hype around the perks and the fact that DIS is not a tech-first company (IMHO).

Advice to Management

Thanks for keeping LTI in place and for giving bonuses to tech roles. Please adjust base salaries where possible to match industry rates.
