ESPN Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I’ve worked for ESPN for 14 years, first in the domestic department and then in the International one. I must say that I always found the resources, both human and technological, to do a meaningful job. It is a company that believes in diversity and promotes hard work and team effort."

"Strong company and work environment. The ability for advancement for high achievers."

"It has been a great working experience."

"Typical day at work was ideal. Everyone was very friendly from beginning to the end of the day. Management was superb and all of the employees were sociable and professional"

"ESPN in Los Angeles is a small, productive, creative group. A lively, casual atmosphere without the overly-corporate feel. Having an ESPN offshoot in LA is the best of both worlds."

"I have been working for ESPN for over 10 years. Even though it is a great company, you feel like you are giving more to them than they are giving back to you. The pay is relatively low compared to industry standards and they are getting so big that it's becoming disorganized."

"Good place to start out. Other people coming in with experience from the outside are generally not respected if they do not drink the Kool-Aid being served in Bristol ESPN."

"Great company with great people. Leadership is a mess though and is completely disconnected with what's happening "on the ground" and not coming up with practical solutions to real problems. Instead they "shuffle the chairs" and do a re-org of the same people every 9-12 months and don't progress or promote people that are hard working but maybe don't play the political game as well as others... no different than most big companies in that way, I presume."

"Great company and parent company (Disney). Excellent benefits and technological opportunities. Promotion opportunities are limited once you reach the management level. I still would recommend ESPN as a great place to work. It is unfortunate that the state of Connecticut makes it expensive to live and work there."

"This is a very fun place to work but the corporate environment atmosphere around there is really not what I thought it would be. It's always good to work somewhere fun, but at the end of the day, you want to still be able to enjoy working. if you can't do that then you won't like working here at this place."
