It is what it is, which is a re-packager of low-cost semi-commercialized semi-educational programming. - Manager Discovery, Inc. Employee Review

At its worst, it is a high-pressure factory for dumbed-down, constantly re-cut and recycled programming. A machine built entirely on ad sales, paired with the lowest-cost programming filler it can find. It is a corporate environment, and as attractive and creative as it may look to a newcomer, it is, again, strictly a corporate environment- which can lead to pretty severe disappointment if incoming expectations fail to take that into consideration. Casual look, even a casual feel, but not a casual mindset.
