Pros

Some good benefits and work/life flexibility if you're in the right division/department. SNL.

Cons

Absolutely terrible hostile leadership. Toxic, abusive and competitive environment. Extremely male, white cis male-centric, outdated ideas about work and the responsibility of mainstream media. I was there while the strike was going on and although we could hear the chants of the picket lines outside during meetings, there was never a single discussion about it internally. I was also there one of the many times that Jimmy Fallon was called out for hostile and abusive work environment, and Jeff Shell was ousted for sexual misconduct - these instances are not an aberration- this is the environment there. Good ideas were ALWAYS stolen by higher ups without giving credit, and mistakes were called out and employees publicly humiliated and shamed for them. The pay disparity is also appalling - I was reporting to someone who made at least 15X what I was making on base salary alone.

Pros

Great "VIP" pass for your family and friends at the theme parks

Cons

Unless you work in new venture, the business is pretty dull (a bit like a utility company). Very risk averse company. Very slow and "matrixed" decision process. A lot of "lifers" in middle management ranks that resist change.
