Pros

Good office tech. Clean new offices. Try to act like a major player when only a little fish

Cons

HR and upper management out of touch and not there for the workers. Management style is monolithic and old. Poor poor upper management with no clue about TV. Too much time and effort on diversity and not enough on pure management and people. You might love the job but it won't love you. They have no loyalty and will dismis with predudice. Want a friend get a dog.

Pros

Job was fairly autonomous and relaxed.

Cons

Complete lack of communication from senior management. Decisions constantly made that affect your work by people who fundamentally don't understand what that work is and will never seek input by those who do. Plans regarding media processes and abilities remain secretive until the last moment from employees, channels and partners. Senior management on the media side of things comes off as delusional towards their knowledge and capabilities of the systems they poorly implemented. Would rather take the advice of vendors trying to sell a product than the staff who knows what needs to be done and how to do it.
