Pros
Get to work with content from many famous brands (MTV, CC, Nick, etc) CEO is trying hard and believes in the product unlike our last one If you're in the right group you may find a fun group of people to be with Some of the brands know how to throw parties and the booze helps keep employees happy
Kontras
You'll feel like you're living out a real life game of thrones (unless you're into that sort of thing) If you're not working at 1515 broadway nyc expect to be disappointed in your office Poor salary and workplace compensations compared with most companies in nyc these days. No snacks, paid soda at most locations, no team parties or outings, you only get new equipment when employees leave Unnecessarily large management structure that are contract based Most management don't seem to have a purpose beyond sustaining themselves New ideas are not welcomed and often result in the messenger getting fired Expect to attend way too many useless meetings in rooms aren't well equipped to handle video conferencing or collaboration Most the brands have all but dried up these days and the company vision isn't well communicated to all business units on what they need to do to achieve the vision. Everybody is expecting Viacom to merge with CBS so that they can be sold to Verizon at this point. Everybody in business has an idea of how to run tech and aren't open to other opinions Most business units don't have clear KPIs and often just think up random ideas to implement without any bearing on how they align with the company's vision and direction The difficulty in buying a mouse is the same as getting a new laptop
