Pros

Exciting opporunity to work on a widely used and constantly evolving product. Feels impactful. Lots of people to learn from who are generous with their time: Engineers and Managers

Cons

No roadmap management. Everyone releases everything regardless of what another team is doing or the resources avaiable. Half the weeks, engineers and testers are expected to work weekends and late nights for nothing. Promotions seem to be based on politics and timing rather than contributions and responsibilities

Pros

Amazing working life balance, company perks (including park access), benefits, great people to work with, company history, etc. PTOs are very flexible. And sometimes you get to enjoy new attractions first hand, before they are open to the public. Also teams get together in the parks occasionally. If you're working on site, they have great offices. I really enjoyed my time there.

Cons

It's huge corporate ecosystem, resulting in many layers of interactions and approvals for even simple things. If you're not a fan of complexes corporate environments, then maybe this ins't the right place for you. The salary are not very competitive, compared to the big techs, if you're working on site in Florida or remote. The salaries are better in CA if you're working on site to compensate the high cost of living in CA.
