Walt Disney Company Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've worked with Disney for the past year in test automation using Eggplant functional. I have created multiple functional and regression gui test scripts for front end validation and integration between salesforce and .NET client applications. I have found multiple bugs in between the software development life cycle. The company followed a semi agile methodology"

"I have worked for the company for 5 years in November. I have improved exceptionally and have an absolutely shining record card along with an immense desire to expand my horizons. Unfortunately, being a small company, Disney does not offer many opportunities for this growth. I would like to work in a space where I can grow and be rewarded for my hard work."

"This is a good company if you're looking to just make incremental or non-disruptive changes."

"The Walt Disney Company is a great and diverse company to work for with a lot of doors opening and plenty of room to move up. Plus they have great perks!!"

"I have worked fo the Walt Disney Company for 21 years. It is a great company to work for with lots of room to explore and learn about other business even if it is not core to your job function. I would work there again."

"I have worked for Walt Disney for a couple of months now and it has been an absolute pleasure. Unfortunately this was a contract job so it will be coming to an end very shortly."

"Great company! Disney is where the magic comes alive, but there is a lot that goes behind the scenes. The work environment and culture is very open and moderate. Supervisors have an oped-door policy and co-workers are always willing to help."

"great place to work and relax at the same time"

"I really enjoy working for this company! There's really no other place like Disneyland and the experiences it offers. The leadership teams in every tier have made themselves very approachable and easy to communicate with, which I believe is essential in the workplace. Overall, it's a fun environment with lovely people who enjoy their jobs, even when it gets difficult."

"Highly political environment, typical for big corporations. Good people and good customers overall."

"I've worked for Disney for over 10 years and it is has been a great learning experience. I have held multiple jobs in multiple lines of business, and have succeeded in every aspect. I am looking for something that can further advance my career."

"I worked in the FastPass department on the Android library for the park app as a contractor for a specific project. The compensation was excellent but there was a lot of bureaucracy related to the specific project I was working. It is hard to say if other teams and projects experience the same things."

"Disney is a big company and comes with the security of being a big company but also the expected issues of: 1) lack of real career growth 2) slow decision making 3) politics, politics, politics"

"Great company to work for. Been with for 12 years, just sorry that they moved our department to Florida. They have everything anyone could ever ask for in a Fortune 500 company."

"I started my accounting career there, however, that is as far as most people get. Management is terrible in fairly evaluating employees for annual performance reviews. Most of them don't care about your career unless you're kissing a-- or making theirs look better. If you're not, then you are just another number to them and a cost to their bonus/budget. So you'll usually get an average rating of 3 (aka On Track). The corporate culture is terrible in Finance/Accounting, there is too much appearance and political BS you have to weave through just to get your job done and even if you outperform other co-workers, it doesn't matter unless you become some manager's or director's pet so they can promote you. Half of the promotions are handed down, because you're someone's friend/family member, favorite brainless pet, are perky, or you just talk too much nonsense and a manager believes it. The ones who work really hard are given a decent raise but typically wait years to see a promotion as opposed to those who just come in with some kind of leverage (unrelated to work performance or business ethics) and demand a promotion. Business Operations Department (Bus Ops) has a terrible culture of oppressing and intimidating the employees, especially hourly role workers, about not making a fuss, keeping unethical managerial methods silent, and not standing up or voicing concerns to higher levels of management. Revenue Operation managers are the same, and they have a terribly low morale among employees, some of it due to because of the same manager who is still there to this present day (2/25/15)."
