Pros
The culture is really good. Professional. Diversity is stressed a lot. Good pay and benefits.
Cons
Management in the tech world seems toxic. I say “seems” because it depends on who you are and where you come from. Layoffs seem to be hitting legacy people exclusively so if you are new employee or have Mickey Mouse ears (former Disney) you should be good. Unfortunately, I was let go in 2023 but business is business. They have let go of some good people. This leads to a feeling of toxic management. Nobody who was there prior to the regime change feels safe. The hiring of Joe Inzerillo is where it all started. They are trying to focus on the streaming side which is probably their only business strategy moving forward since satellite is really kind of for old people. I don’t see how they are going to lure young people away from Spotify. The products they offer are nowhere close to what Spotify has going on. They also rely too much on talent for old people like Howard Stern. Wish them well but don’t see the plan moving forward. Perhaps the Disney folks will come in, make their mark and move on to another place to “transform”.
