Pros

A great company. Good to their employees. Great benefits and incentives & activities. Everything done there is an excellent product. The best it can be. One can take pride in that. I loved that about the company. It is a class act!

Cons

It's huge company so staffs work life can be dramatically difference. It can feel like you are in a non-stop factory if you are in production, 24/7/365. Some never having holidays or a 2 days weekend off (just 2 single days during the week). OR you can have a stressful and intense but not long hour job as I did. I was compensated very well. Schedules and hours can vary big time from group to group. They will get you at the lowest salary that they can so get all you can in the beginning. Most people just jump on board to work for ESPN. If you have to live in Bristol, CT. Well....it's Bristol, CT. Long cold snowy winters.

Pros

People look at you in awe when you tell them you work at ESPN. A great place to hone your skills. Most people are willing to teach you anything they know.

Cons

Recognition doesn't always come from what you do. A lot depends on who you know and how well you praise them. The scale on Work/Life balance is definitely tilted toward work. Its very hard to do balance life when work takes up your life 24/7
