Brand recognition where few companies can match the scale, but internal politics are horrible
Brand recognition where few companies can match the scale, but internal politics are horrible
ESPN, Disney, ABC, ABCNews – the brand recognition. There are few companies that have the scalability issues that Disney has because it is a massive media company.
The brands are awesome and it's incredible to be associated with these brands.
The upper level management is horrible. They don't watch after anyone but themselves. It's a CYA kind of environment.
There's no accountability for anything that you do. There's no autonomy to do any work.
It's a great place to get some experience, but, certainly not a place to work a long period of time in.
Learn how to innovate. It seems like upper-level management would rather follow than lead.
