      Pros

      Loved the general manager and the station engineer. Both were great to work for.

      Cons

      Not a ton of money, but worth it if you love sports and radio broadcasting.

      Good talent, poorly managed

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relaxed work environment. A lot of talented people doing interesting work (though w/ so many groups and products it might depend on where you land). Opportunity to work on highly visible products.

      Cons

      Every worker seems to have two managers, each of whom have two managers above them and so on. All the groups are silo'd w/ little coordination between the groups. Lots of attention is paid to distinct upcoming events but little interest in lessons learned after the events, process improvement or big picture system improvement. Lots of dependency on old/proprietary technology which has little to no documentation or support. Pay seems to be lower than industry average for the privilege of working for the world wide leader but this is often relative to a variety of factors.

      Great Place To Work

      Pros

      Small enough company to know who your boss's boss , but is large enough to have the power to get things done. A great end of year bonus was received in each of my four years there.

      Cons

      We had quite a bit of turnover in our department, including five different heads of the department in four years. Getting laid off sucked too.
