Pros

I enjoy solving difficult problem and working towards a solution that benefits everyone involved and ha really kid benefits for the bottom the bottom line profitably of the company the company. I enjoy seeing what I do has a positive impact on the company and enacts real visual positive change.

Cons

While working in my current position we have not beeen able to thrive due upper management and the near weekly layoffs. I was not laid off but I ended up doing over 11 people's jobs and work life balance ceased to exist to be available to me or any one else. The culture at the lot spiraled and it was hard to get people to work hard and be excited about projects when they were so overwhelmed.

Pros

Great benefits, and atmosphere in the VIACOM office in NYC.

Cons

Internal battle within IT of Paramount and VIACOM on who is the "boss". VIACOM IT div. was looking to continue to expand in agile, devops, etc. Paramount was in ITIL mode. Paramount management was clueless on the difference and were looking to provide ITIL services to an agile (VIACOM IT) org... Go figure!
