My dream is to work at Disney but I don’t have anyone in my network that has worked there. There is a senior leadership position at Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products that I have my eye on. Anyone work there that can provide a referral? YOE: 20 TC: $600K
Curious, would disney be able to beat your current TC?
Wrong channel to post. Move post to media & entertainment channel and mention (@) Disney
TY!
NP. You need to tap on the @ icon and search for disney. I noticed you just put @disney yourself. Fyi
Feel free to reach to me. I am not in DPEP but can make an intro
You wont make anything close to your Amazon TC unless you come in at SVP
Hi. Just letting you know that I’ve never worked at a worse organization than DPEP. Thanks.
Eeek thanks for the input. Are “all” orgs bad in DPEP because I absolutely love my job at Amazon and you hear 90% of the people on Blind very unhappy with their jobs. Just wondering if pockets are just fine at DPEP….
From my experience and from talking to other teams, I haven’t seen anything to make me believe anywhere is good. What’s the exact role you’re looking at? If you’re in Engineering and I were you, I would NEVER EVER leave somewhere like Amazon for DPEP. Lots of legacy practices. Lots of outsourcing. No code ownership. No Engineering talent. I know Amazon is known for the excessive PIP culture, but Disney should be known (nowadays) for the excessive anti-pip culture. We hold onto dead weight. Tbh, pretty much everything we have is dead weight at this point. Most of the talented engineers have left or are planning to leave. There’s lots more points I could make, but tbh a lot of us that joined recently are still trying to put our finger on the root cause/ main reasons this place just feels off compared to FAANG. That said, if you do end up joining please reach out. I’d love to work around people with a higher caliber of experience again.
If your dream is worth a massive pay cut then come on over
This is the real question

How well do you deal with disappointment?
Honest advice. Take a look at your statement. Your dream is to work at Disney, but you don’t know anyone there. You have something built up in your mind with very little evidence to support the reality of it. There are a lot of Disney people in this thread being real with you and you’re in the bargaining stage of denial already, asking if there are any pockets that are okay. I work in DMED (streaming) not DPEP (parks) but I hear similar things all over. Disney is an entertainment company, not a tech company. There are a lot of unhappy tech workers at Disney right now because they assumed certain baseline expectations would be met and that some “dream” ones would be also. I suggest you write down a list of things you expect from the role, then confirm or deny if those expectations can be met. You can do that here, in interviews, wherever you get a chance. Get very curious about the reality. If the differences are fine for you, then that’s great! If not, its much better to know.
