Pros

I've been lucky and rising up the ranks with promotions about once a year. Two of those promotions were because people left. The other was because I fought for an open headcount they were currently hiring for on my team. The current releveling increased my bonus pools at my level (P4) and put my total comp in a competitive place with what I'm seeing in the wider market. If you love visiting Disney Parks, the benefits of doing so as an employee are awesome.

Cons

A lot of my colleagues have not been as lucky on the promotion front even though they are just as deserving. Ton of late breaking requirements for a recent major launch recently had a lot of people working around the clock. My new Hulu team mates members are getting benefits cut significantly, and there is open vitrol about it. Management/HR attempt at responding is to blow it off. Morale is incredibly low right now and based on all hands meeting people are close to a revolt. The higher you get up the management chain, the more disconnected they seem from our day to day reality they created for us.

Pros

Free passes to the parks and discount in the stores.

Cons

Management is disorganized, and the workplace culture is consistently challenging. Frequent organizational changes are introduced with little communication or clarity about the path forward, creating uncertainty and frustration. While some teams provide a better experience than others, a toxic environment is prevalent across much of the organization. Rather than investing in employee growth, development, and internal advancement, the culture often feels focused on limiting employees' potential instead of empowering them to succeed.
