ESPN Employee

"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."
