Don't expect any investment in your skills. You are just a resource
Don't expect any investment in your skills. You are just a resource
Generally flexible work hours.
Perks, such as park tickets and discounts.
Great teamwork at the coal-face. Smart people.
The opportunity to work on high-profile websites.
Management is generally poor and, although they will treat you with respect, they ultimately will only see you as a resource.
Politics.
Proprietary technology stacks make developing and maintaining a robust website the most painful and inefficient experience. Any marketable skills you had before you joined Disney will wither.
Politics.
Bad case of NIH (Not Invented Here) and a Legal department that will prevent you from even thinking about suggesting using any open-source tools.
Politics. There are politics everywhere, but politics here are as bad as it gets.
Zero investment in your skillset. No technology training (except in proprietary tools) and no external courses or conferences. If you're not on the management track, then they have no interest in growing you.
Trust your engineers to make sound technological decisions.
Don't force them down paths that are driven purely by politics.
