Disney

This job is definitely a dream job. I work with smart and nice people, which is rare in an engineering job. Honestly, the pay and perks are great, especially if you work for DSS. Work-life balance is great, as you have set PTO, as well as paid sick time, and 12 holidays (3 floating). During a really hard project, we also got some Fridays off to help us refresh. We worked hard to get that, and Disney rewards the hard work.

Remember, we go to work to actually work, and that is what you will do. So it isn't always "fun," but I enjoy my job and what I do. I think long gone are the days of the TikTok of "The life of a SWE at Disney" because that is not reality. Work/job will always be that. Once you wrap your mind around that, then things aren't too bad. We currently have a hiring freeze, so a lot of work to be done, but it is better than the opposite and having to do layoffs.

Everyone should get Hulu Live TV at least at DSS. Eat our own dog food.
