Pros

Working with Disney in the engineering teams has a pretty good work-life balance, and the compensation is decent. I enjoy the perks (admission to Disney parks), and the bonuses and raises are about industry standard.

Cons

Most engineering strategy is being made by non-technical management based on something they apparently heard from their best buddy from college. It's slow, incoherent, and disrespectful of the in-house expertise.

We are not protected from layoffs, so we might wake up one day to discover a third of our team is having their last day. It's demoralizing.
