Generally a great place to work
Generally a great place to work
Overall, I've really liked my work and my team at Disney. Great pay, good people, interesting problems, and lots of support groups (Women in Studio Technology, Women in Tech, a variety of employee resource groups).
Pre-pandemic, there were lots of events on the studio lot, including movie screenings. I also get a pass to Disneyland.
Everyone has movie posters in their cubicles and Disney gear/toys on their desks. People are really devoted to the content we make. Good work/life balance.
Very few female engineers. The contractors tend to work as hard as the full-time employees but don't get the benefits. The PTO is limited. None of these are dealbreakers in the least, but it doesn't hurt to bring them up.
Hire more women! Hire more FTEs!
