Pros

A reliable, yet somewhat boring and/or stale environment. Reasonably stable company, with just average benefits package. Brand name is still widely recognized and respected and looks good on any resume. Leadership is trying to right the ship, but has a hard time reaching middle-management -- or does middle-management have a hard time being heard by the leadership (since executives are scared of passing on 'innovative ideas')? The Entertainment Imaging Services (EI or EIS) division's exposure to 'working Hollywood' is nice -- cinematographers, post production supervisors and creative people in general are usually dedicated, humble and genuinely interested in their vision.

Cons

Stability of the environment can turn into a lack of willingness to innovate. Departments work in silos, internal communication is lacking. Recent layoffs have reduced willingness to risk something -- when playing it safe could save your job, right? In that context, marketing budgets have been severely reduced, seriously hampering the (digital) growth. Integration of acquired subsidiaries was fumbled -- synergies did not materialize as planned and subsidiary is struggling due to lack of understanding and marketing investments. A lot of old timers there, who do insist on doing things a certain way, because "that's how it's always been done." Benefits package is below average.
