Pros

30 Rock - the building and the show. Beautiful setting, romantic notions that creativity is taking place.

But in reality, they have too many senior managers that love to stifle, play political games, and not allow their to employees grow.

Business Outlook

Pros

compensation benefits open to mix technology used - linux, unix, mac, pc There are a lot of different brands you can transition to and each is interesting in its own way. You can stay there a long time but be in different brands for the experience

Cons

poor management in some divisions, people are tight-lipped b/c they are afraid of losing their SME status if they share too much red-tape not very collaborative though they try to be -- but it's more lip service
