Pros

Monopoly player - exerts control or influence over the major media markets in the the US and in other parts of the world. Likewise, as a monopoly in markets for retail data and consumer panel data.

Cons

ex-GE hacks are the only ones listened to. They sound great, but deliver very little. It doesn't take too much skill to fire people or to regurgitate GE mantra. "70-20-10" for example, is very easily manipulated. Seems as if, and only if, you can swallow and repeat the GE-speak will you survive. The problems will only become apparent when the IPO finally comes and the new owners get to see the damage done by current management, but it will be too late.
