Pros

Great people. Love my job because of the people. It's clear that the company cares about it's employees. The digital arm of the company is great. Doing a lot of exciting things in tech.

Cons

The company needs to get a grip on its vision. Also because it is now running a "digital" race in Web, OTT, Mobile, the company should get educated on how to stay competitive within that industry. The perks that normally come with working in tech along with salaries are just not quite there. Also it's a challenge to work for a company that clearly has a right-wing agenda, I just don't see the payoff.
