Pros

- Viacom Media Networks include leading brands such as: MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, VH1, so if you want to do a media career, it is the right place to be. - As an always growing company, there are always new challenges on your way.

Cons

- The television industry as itself is living a critical situation. - It's becoming harder to move up at Viacom. - Viacom is a huge company, that means sometimes communication is lost in the crowd. - Startups offer more upside.

Pros

Honestly, I struggle to come up with any.

Cons

- Aging, out of touch leadership; head in the sand mentality in the face of a crumbling business - Poor/no strategy; only response to crumbling business is to slash costs, gutting the company's talent pool - One of the least diverse management teams in media - Lack of diversity in division leadership as well - Poor pay - Miserable facilities - majority of employees have no office and must work "agile" - i.e., working in tiny cubicles which must be reserved in advance - Zero morale, as a result of wave after wave of layoffs, plus wage cuts, bonus reductions and hiring freezes - Poor, underfunded technology and resources for employees - Streaming product UI and UX are terrible - Lack of originality in programming and marketing - openly relying only on stale, recycled "franchise"
