Pros

Loved my co-workers, had supportive boss, learned a lot in a growing field

Cons

Disorganization, low morale, poor management decisions, narrow mindedness about investment in departments that are growing (there's a constant drumbeat of meeting financial goals -- even when the company is in the black and doing well. This leads to hiring freezes and even layoffs in 2011, on the heels of one of the company's best years on record.)

Pros

Creative enviornment Wonderful benefits Good work/life balance Encouraged to try new things Compassionate management during personal crises Can be a big fish in a small pond depending upon department Amazing flex time options (work from home, comp days)

Cons

Borderine incompetent management Some executives land top jobs with little to no experience if they have the backing of infuential executives Completely lopsided top Viacom management to freelancer pay discrepancy Younger milennials can be entitled, unprofessional and more of a negative than a positive

Pros

This is a fun and seemingly wonderful place to start a career, from interning up.

Cons

Once you settle in you'll realize the management and senior level management aren't always seeing eye to eye or coordinating between departments. Budgets are always getting cut and the employee turnover rate seems to get higher and higher.
