Pros

- Company had great culture, people WERE kind and being 50% owned by Disney was billed as a fabulous thing! - Very decent benefits

Cons

- Horrid HR from LA with no soul and no heart - Obvious Favouritism - some departments head seem to have more sway than others - Directionless - it's survival by the day vs long term - You will never get promoted, unless you are favoured by management or you massively suck up to management - Bullies their way through layoff (Suddenly what Disney does is irrelevant because they're a separate entity) Very double standards.

Pros

I worked on the Content Creation team which is primarily made up of contract employees. Work is remote, but plenty of opportunities to get together in office and meet other people and socialize afterwards. Everyone on the team is great to work with, there are efficient systems in place and it is a well-oiled machine! I've done two contract rounds with them and am looking forward to my next one.

Cons

No opportunities to convert from contract to staff. There are a lot of things that aren't available to contract employees that are only available to staff (certain meetings, resources, etc). Contract employees are limited to 18 months, and then are required to take a year off.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
