    Just curious because I may be in the running for an interview. Anyone in the community here that has worked for Disney as a software engineer? Is it a good career move? How does it compare to the atmosphere working at Microsoft?

    Have you ever seen one of their "making of" videos? They like to brag about the tireless work all the animators did. I wonder if perhaps that work environment is also expected of the software engineers.

      When you work at Microsoft the best you can hope for is lunch with Steve and maybe Dinner with Bill. But at Disney you get to go trick-or-treat-ing with Zac and Cody, and then if you have trouble sleeping at night Miley will sing you a really nice lullaby.

            I heard on rumor 3rd hand and from unreliable sources that the Pixar programmers, animators, management (well just about everyone) hated their Disney masters. Situation was further aggravated when Tinker Bell was found kicking the crap out of tied up Buzz Light Year.

                        It's fine as long as you believe in fairies. (Every time you say you don't believe in software, a programmer dies)

                          Rumor is that he likes his fairies ruff. At least that's the way Goofy termed it...
