What don't you like about working at Walt Disney Company?

"Everything was about politics, even trivial politics. Everything was about perception, not truth, and it is a very gossipy and secretive culture where saying something unpopular or not agreed with by the masses is not viewed well at all. Also, good luck with work/life balance at Disney (especially the internet group). It doesn't exist, and the leadership only pays it lip service when it comes down to it."

"The company closed the division I was working for - Disney Mobile, two years after launching the business. It made business sense, but was personally an unwelcomed outcome."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I think it is great that management takes risks into new entertainment venues to remain fresh and relevant to consumers. The mobile division was one such venture, and elements of this failed effort are still occurring in the company with other Disney divisions getting into mobile marketing and entertainment applications. Keep up the good work taking strategic and calculated risks in offering your guests new ways to experience the great entertainment The Walt Disney Company has to offer."
