Walt Disney Company Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I have been with Disney for 13 years and have watched many people come and go for various reasons. There have been many layoffs over the years and many good people let go. The corporate culture here is based on politics, not substance. There is more emphasis on how you do your work as opposed to the quality of your work. If you look like you're doing a great job, you get rewarded despite what the quality is."
