Pros
The people are great. The benefit to working at Disney Streaming is having the name on your resume and working in an industry that has been booming for the last few years. Plus, the occasional excitement when you tell someone that you work at Disney.
Cons
Disney relies on the magic of their name to bring top talent through their revolving door. They have no interest in retaining talent, regardless of strong performance. Pay is LOW and if you think you can come in and move up in the organization, be prepared to work hard for several years before that is even a consideration. Both leadership and HR could care less about their employees though they sometimes go through the motions of “listening” but never actioning on any feedback. We had a very high turnover rate in our segment once people realized things would not change for the better. It’s a top down culture where you have little to no say in the initiatives or decisions. Due to Disney’s secrecy, work was often dropped on teams with little notice. There is endless amounts of red tape which stifles creativity and can be excruciatingly frustrating. Perks are non-existent besides the park passes which are increasingly difficult to book with blackout dates and various stipulations. The magic fades quite quickly when you devote late nights to work and eventually realize you are disposable to them.
