Very immersive with opportunities in a variety of production, business and corporate fields.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great opportunities for pitching new programs. Each production staff is not limited to working within itself - since there are many ongoing specials and re-cuts, the teams are often able to collaborate and expand their network of contacts.

Cons

With such a large company, moving up in position takes much longer than with most production companies. Also, although pitching new programs within the company is welcomed, the security of owning your idea can be somewhat difficult and political.
