Pros

- Relatively stable work environment - Depending on the dept. there is some ability to pursue ideas beyond the normal job scope. - Investment in technology/creative relating to product is relatively high - Usually on the bleeding edge of tech - Caliber of talent/competency is on par, higher than average (you do get laggards just like any other company though) - Reasonable ability to move to different departments throughout company. - Good Benefits / Nice Perks (Free Disney admission)

Cons

- Advancing through the ranks can take longer than other company (see relatively stable work environment in the pros) - Pay is on average, lower than other major networks - Technology used by employees not directly related to on-air product can be dated and is not given the attention it may deserve. - Subject to office politics just like any other company - In Bristol, CT
