I got verbal offer from Disney Streaming as Senior Software Engineer. Not sure what kind of compensation offer package to expect because it was never discussed. Also, HR needs me to choose a location first. 2nd question is what location would be best? Current TC: ~150k. 7 yoe ——————————————————- Update: got the offer Base: 160,000 RSU: 100,000 / 3 years Bonus target: 7% Signon: 40,000 #disney #disneystreamingservices #salary #hulu
I hear Disney is among the worst for tech jobs. I work with an ex Disney and they are worthless
Great for coasting and let your tech skills atrophy over time.
A few teams are pretty technically good. But yeah rest are meh
What locations did they offer you? If it's any Disney office, it's really up to you. I assume it's not any, since TC is lower in places like Orlando, than it is for something like SF or NYC. But, theoretically, it's a lifestyle decision you have to make. LA isn't bad, Seattle is great on the tax savings, NYC is trendy, etc. That said, for a Senior I heard the base range is 140-160k (not sure if it's been increased recently). Bonus is usually 7% but maybe 10% for senior. You should get a sign on bonus (30-50k usually), as well as a one time RSU lump sum (at least 100k, should be more like 150) over 3 years vesting semi annually, and also 25 to 35% of your base as RSUs each year vesting over 3 years semi annually. Disney also usually matches 401k at 4% of your gross pay after 90 days. Benefits are from day one. You get a main entrance Disney parks pass, which lets you and 3 guests or your dependents (if more than 3) enter any Disney run park (read: Japan's parks are not Disney run). You can alternatively get the Disney Bundle instead (with ad free Hulu). Finally, Disney also offers a sort of pension, wherein they give a percentage of your base every year, and it's fully vested at your 3rd year of service, but continues to get contributions by them even after. Expect 15 PTO days, 10 personal/care days, standard state holidays, 2-3 floater holidays, and, recently, mental recharge days (free days off). Good luck!
Wow thank you so much. This is some high quality description of TC breakdown. I hope others find it useful as well.
As for the location, apparently I have choice of any Disney locations. Of course, the compensation will depend on the location (HCOL / LCOL) I’m leaning towards LA (Santa Monica) as I have growing family. (Really not sure what location would be best for me and my family though…)
heard back yet? What’s the TC breakdown.
Not yet….. dreading… whether it would be expected range or lowball… Anyways, I got the verbal offer on Friday night, 2 hours after my virtual on-site. Apparently I can choose any office location and they would get me the offer package (not sure if the official offer or just hard numbers) early this week. So far, I haven’t heard anything from them.
I will make sure to update on the post ;)
Also got senior offer recently, 158k base, 200k RSU / 3 years, 40k sign on but still negotiating
Nice. And what location will you be joining?
TC, yoe?
