      Large company means you need a strategy to own yourself as a brand

      Pros

      The company is very large so there are a lot of opportunities in many facets of media. However these will not just fall into your lap. You can't just want it. You have to go earn it (network, collaborate, show your work, talk things up, be good). You still have to get yourself in the door (even if you already work for the company)

      Cons

      Keeping your head down and working hard is just the foundation, it by itself is not enough. Depending on management structures, you might not have good leadership. Might have to find mentors and collaborators in different parts of the org

      Good benefits, but too bureaucratic

      Pros

      Really good benefit package. And a lot of good colleagues.

      Cons

      Company is way too bureaucratic. It takes forever to get a decision made. Things get bogged down.

      Not the same experience for Operations & Technology

      Pros

      Working with helpful people across departments, making many contacts

      Cons

      Expectation of daily overtime, disregard of family life, ambiguity from upper management, constant turnover, shallow training, conflicting expectations, disregard for headcount/ project ratio. Many teammates and leaders were let go without any meaningful consultation from management. Teams work without a proper management hierarchy for several months on end, leading managers to act as directors and directors to have to act as managers, which ultimately leaves entry level employees without a fair direction.
