Talented People, Misleading Role
Talented People, Misleading Role
Great brand. Lots of very talented and passionate people. Good benefits. Competitive salaries.
The Solutions Architect position is misleading at Disney. It is not a very technical role and the primary focus is on estimates and high-level diagrams.
For someone looking to stay in the weeds, this is not a good position. You lose the skills of a Software Engineer, Application Architect, or a typical Solution Architect.
The morale within the Solution Engineering group, which is the group that Solution Architects belong to, is very poor and management does little to improve conditions.
Growth within the group is very difficult and few people are promoted. Pursuing opportunities, career growth, and improvement are also not encouraged.
More focus on keeping Solution Architects technical and less focus on estimates. Create opportunities for people to grow in their role. Improve morale with more respect and appreciation for individuals.
