Once a great company now a great shame
Pros
Iconic brands that mean (or meant) something to Americans. Award winning content that delivered ratings. Nice offices and solid perks. Pension plan is great but new employees don't get to be on the plan. Great outside reputation in the industry - people very impressed I work here.
Cons
Back when I started, we had a shared mission and everyone gave 110% to make sure we produced content that was authentic to our brands and had a purpose. The company had a north star and everyone was on the same page. Now it's just a collection of egotistical politicians who are more focused on themselves then the company. People I admired most are all gone and people i thought had no future are now leaders. As other reviewers said, the place is like high school where the dumb jocks, mean girls, and popular kids are in charge. The new hires over last 3-5 years have mostly been 2nd rate friends of executives. Now HR has their hands in everything and things are getting worse by the minute. Everyone is just holding their breath till we get acquired and get a payout.
